Just tried it + Why?

I just tried it, and it worked -- presumably when the TC is locked. It will downshift and unlock with the engine off; which is when it didn't work.

Next item up for bids on the Price is Right:

Why? I'm trying to think of a situation where this would be applicable (to turn the car off in Drive and key-back on before a stop). Generally on decel, the injectors are cut anyway, or you could downshift to keep the revs up into the fuel-cut range...
