sequentially.

for instance, i have this 2006 CL500. from D, if i downshift, the tranny goes to first gear.

yet, if from a stop, i take the gearing down to first gear, i can take it up a gear at a time.

in 2002, i rented a e320cdi in france. in that vehicle, i could upshift or downshift.

why is it that benz prevented downshifting in this tranny?

all ears.
