You have to put it over into Sport mode, paddle downshift to the gear you want, hit it, slap it into Tour mode, then back into Sport mode all in a quick second so it can't slap the rev limiter. If you just mash the pedal and let the car downshift itself, it will eventually eat the transmission.

Does the V have a pretty weak tranny or something?
I get that constant 2-3 gear downshifts can reduce transmission life, but i would expect more from a 60K car.
