Mine does that too so i guess it's normal on our old tran's but instead of doing that just go from D1 to D3 and you will like that a lot better. Even more so if you are trying to get out the hole faster. No it wont shift into 3rd gear from 1st but for some reason it shift's into second a lot faster and more powerful. I can always break loose my tires in second that way. But i would'nt recommend doing that unless you keep up with your tran's fluid changes and basic service's. Back to topic when ever i downshift from a high roll i always give the throttle a quick blip at the moment of the shift point. This seem the have the tran's downshift a lot better.
