is it common that auto tranny won't shift into the higher gear at too low of the speed? sorry for the noob question
Yes, the transmission will not blindly due whatever you ask it to.

I think it's good to have those failsafes in there in case we do a mistake. For instance, it won;t shift down unless it is safe to do so (over rev).

The only thing I wish it didn't do is auto upshift in M mode.
