Default A6 downshift 6to5 ?

Had my 09 coupe 9 months now and it seems to me that when in D on the hiway when I slow down from say 60mph I can feel the downshift slightly.It is a suttle tremor or shake you can feel in the seat of pants. It only occurs onthe 6 to 5 shift. Anyone else....comments.

It's probably just your torque converter unlocking as you slow down. Nothing to be concerned about.

My old 300C w/HEMI had a 5 spd auto and when the converter locked up it felt like a shift to a 6th gear ... rpm dropped on the tach too.
