Anyone else have this problem..It seems that when I come off the
highway and start to break, my transmission jumps down a gear..Its
almost as if I have applied a quick hard break. Last only a milla
second, but I am concerned I amy have a tranny problem..Any
thoughts????

Has it just started to do this?  My TL does the same, I just consider it
"engine braking."  Part of Hondas "fuzzy logic" technology intro'd in the
90's.

Not a problem, just very effective engine breaking on downshift. Mine does
same, my buddy's also does same. Saves on the brake pads after all.

I don't know why you'd want engine breaking on downshift.  Hard on the engine.  Maybe you meant engine braking!

You should get a real newsreader.

Nah, just a spellchecker.  And an English grammar education!  :>)
