Re: "Downshifting" an automatic 850 1997

I try to shift from D to 3 before light Stop. Other than feeling the gear shift, but not the engine brake effect. The car keep going in roughly the same speed, in level road. I've been asking around, but no one give me a good answer. So do you really feel the engine brake that slow down the car like you are drive a manual ? I'm drive the auto without turbo, will that be the different ?
