I looked around and wasn't sure if anyone's brought this up. I was stuck on the freeway and that slip was giving me a real bad time, couldn't find the right speed to keep it from continually hitting the gears hard.
I used manual mode and left it in second. It did downshift around 5mph iirc, but it also started from a stop in 2nd if the paddle was pressed. Doing this didn't completely remove the situation, but it did help quite a bit. Might help me nurse it along a little further.
