Ok so I looked High and Low - for this solution. I even went to stealership and got a diagnosis. My Car was not acting right, as I was downshifting automatically as I was appraoching a traffic light, the car seemed to studder, jerk going from 3-> 2, feels as if you pressing a clutch halfway while you are coasting to a stop. No one seems to talk about this probelm on any forum.

After 6 months today -
My friend suggested I change the salmon realy and for 8 bucks from the stealer and 2 minutes to pop it in - my smg is silky smooth -like the day she was born - If in doubt change the relay !!!
