Small update.
My wife and I were on Vacation in Tenn from Michigan. Well on our way back we had a quick lane change manuver with a 6 to 3 downshift. It was pretty violent. Worst we've had. Well for the rest of the 800 mile drive home we tried to reproduce the same situation and make a 6 tor 3 down shift rough. Well for the past month now its been completely smooth. Great downshifts. We brought the car to the dealer when we got back and they said they sent the transmission mapping to Mazda support to see if anything looked abnormal and they said everything came back normal. The dealer was also unable to reproduce a hard down shift now. So its great that the downshifts are smooth. But what happened in that last violent downshift that "fixed" things. The service manager at the dealer did mention that Mazda support was aware of others having driveability problems. So maybe there will be an update.
