The 915 does require a short pause between shifts. Mine downshifted fine until 1st sprung one too many teeth and spilt its guts half mile away from home.

But, yeah, I hear you, for "spirited" street driving in stop and go commute traffic, the 915 just doesn't cut it, unless you like holding up traffic at the lights !
