This great basics and that is where I am. Wanting to clearly understand and probably falls under the stupid question! Should it down shift ONLY when the pedal is at the floor! I assume the process is: put it to the floor sort of quickly, it down shifts to 2nd get the pedal from the floor, than makes its way back up the gears as normal? Trying to understand the whole sequence. This is great stuff. Tranny is a Torqueflite 727. Thanks, Ron
