Auto trans downshifting question

[XJ2JTChris]

Didn't want to put this in for "issues" again. I have an appointment for next week in service for what sounds like driveline vibration but I am also wondering and want to check with the masses first to see if this other potential issue is normal or not.
Sport S with max tow. During normal braking conditions the transmition downshifts through the gears but at a point where each downshift is noticable and makes braking feel very annoying....like impossible to keep your head from lurching forward as if it's a rookie driving manual. Haha. Do all the JTs do this or do i have a trans issue causing the abrupt downshifts? Thanks all, sorry if it should be in the issues and repairs section, just wasn't sure if it is in fact an issue or i just hate this trans. Haha. Cheers.

That doesn’t sound normal. My transmission shifts smoothly. Post up what they determine.

Did you check to see if you’re affected by the driveshaft recall?
Otherwise the trans learns to some degree. If you don’t like it’s behavior try pulling the positive battery cable and turning the headlights to drain the battery.
