Just started chirping tires on downshift

[JayhawkGT]

I have an A10 and I will “blip” the throttle to get it to downshift. Lately when I do it, if it downshifts to 2nd it clunks and the tires chirp. Never used to do that but the last 2 days it’s done it 3 times… is that normal for an A10 when downshifting?

Sounds like you may be low on trans fluid. I've heard rough shifts and unnecessary chirping on the A10 that was usually just being a quart or two low. Only other thing I can think of is a software update that the dealership can do; it fixed a few forum members' shift issues.

weather changes... tires loose grip and engines get more power.

Its the season of chirping tires
