Mclaren V2 ACC missing downshift

Hello All!
I've been using the mclarenv2 with csl dd pro for a year and I notice that sometimes the car just does not down shift at first attempt in assetto corsa compettizione (driving the mclaren evo 2 ). Have you faced anything similar? Is it my wheel or a generic issue?
Note that when I test the shifting up or down in the Fanatec app, I do not see any missing shifts.
Thanks!

only thing what i could ask, to you seen that with some other race games?
based only a one game its hard to tell anything
Unfortunately I really only play acc. I couldn't find anything specific about this so, I'm more looking towards it being a physical issue with the device or my problem in driving
Hi, I share my experience (I use ACC both on PC and XBOX series) . Pay attention your RPMs. Perhaps it is not an issue but it's just the downshift protection that is a real function of racing cars that is simulated in ACC. If downshifting in the wrong conditions the engine would go "over-revving"", the car simply doesn't allow the downshift. This function is intended to save the engine of the car. I also faced this situation (CSL DD + McLaren V2) and than looking on many platform (Kunos, Steam, Fanatec and other forum) I realized that it wasn't an hardware issue, but a function of the modern racing car simulated.
on very old threads I also read about a problem of FanaLab (if you play on PC) that caused some input problems when it was running in background, but in the most recent version this issue was solved.
old days probably it was opposite, engine braking, was a thing what allowed brake car faster, but yes downside is, car engine lifetime would be then much shorter
never think ed about that over-revving tho, i to have ACC as-well but i actually never notice that
