Hey skyblue, this sounds pretty normal to me.

Maybe I misunderstand what you are saying but if the engine RPMs decrease with a corresponding decrease in vehicle speed, this sounds normal. But since you aren't specifying engine RPMs it's just a guess.

The Jatco CVT7 in the Mirage is a dual-range transmission. I'm going to guess again that it might be shifting from one range to another.
But since I haven't yet driven a CVT Mirage I can't really say for sure, I can only speculate. Maybe another CVT owner will chime in with some insight.
