I have just noticed that at lower speeds (45 at least and lower), when I let off the gas to coast/ slow down slightly... the transmission downshifts. I can feel the shift of momentum from lower motor RPM and see the tack increase slightly. I really don't ever recall feeling this before.
I recently had my 4th CVT fluid drain and fill. I have had them done at the dealer as the cost vs price of fluid doesn't warrant me getting dirty. A few days after the fluid change, I replaced the valve cover assembly that was leaking a second time (the first repair was gasket only, now the entire cover was replaced by me).
I can't say the change in transmission behavior was before I replaced the valve cover for sure, I may not have noticed it after the CVT service. I have went over the connectors that I removed to replace the valve cover again and don't see anything unplugged. I have no CEL set off either.
Any ideas of what may be happening is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Michael
