From time to time I have experienced hesitancy but only in D or S

By double clicking and dropping 2 gears I have used more engine braking. :confused:

x2. Experience more engine braking by dropping 2 gears. Perhaps that is just me and you Ian. Guess I am lazy! But at least I use my left leg!
Right gear right time, I don't want to spend 100 yards changing 2 gears in my manual box, where I can slap it down 2 and use the engine braking available in one constant flow, and thereby not unsettling the car.
Just the way i was taught to drive, on several courses I have been on. ETTO.
