c7 automatic transmission

I recently purchased a 2014 Corvette with automatic transmission. I have approx 250 miles on it now. What I noticed today while coming to a stop without the use of the brake and just slowly letting the car slow down. I felt a little bit of not so smooth downshift and noise. I just wondered if anyone else that owns a new 2014 C7 automatic transmission has experienced the same? I appreciate owner's feedback.

Thanks,

Try the same thing in each mode then see what happens. My car is put away or I would drive it.

My C7 Auto has approx 3000 miles and I have never felt or heard anything like you describe and I have driven it in every configuration. If it keeps up get to a reputable/knowledgeable dealer soon.

I think it's the same as the C6 transmission, and they do that also

Only have 400 miles on my automatic, but have not felt that yet. Next time I am out I will check and report back if I detect the feel.

Sometimes when I manually downshift into 1st, I get a clunk. I'll mention it when I go in for the re-flash. I don't think it's something to worry over tho.
