The only way I've found to gear down is :
Cut the gas completely and tick on
B, that way you can go down in gear.
Open the gas again as soon as you're in the appropiate gear or your engine stalls, the bitch.
With a bit of fingerspitzgefühl it's doable without coming to a complete standstill or without stalling your engine.
Hard to hear in what gear you are, but squint in the right upper corner, the gear you're in is listed up there.
Kinda shitty to do, needless to say, but didn't found a better handling.
Hey don't complain, if a 52 years ol'wreck can do it, you can.
And nope, doesn't seem to be an automatic gearbox, real man don't use those.
