to downshift properly ..get the rpm's up high to the oint they are when you up shift....then shift......sometimes you may need to double clutch if the rpm's are not high enough

Well, you did now... You don't need to lash out. Trolls love attention, so don't feed the trolls. If you don't value her opinion, discard it.

From the new features manual.

TRANSMISSION GEAR
1. General
 A triple-cone type synchromesh mechanism is used for the 1st gear and 2nd gear to increase the
synchonizer capacity. This helps to reduce the shifting effort and provide smoother shifting.
 A double-cone type synchromesh mechanism is used in the reverse gear to suppress gear engagement
noise.

Tranny's fixed, but they managed to scratch/dent the driver side door on the lift and apologized and said they'de fix it after xmas due to it being so hectic right now. I'm a happy camper, for the most part. Now all I gotta do is get the bullet hole fixed.

bullet hole? not good. and i'm sorry that i was wrong about the no syncro thing. in my reading up on it i forgot the part that mentioned either no synchro or in newer/some cars have a ____tier synchro than other gears yet still have synchro. thats my bad. but good to hear that the problem was fixed. get that scratch/dent estimated at an independednt facility and use their estimate and do it outta that dealership. dont want them dentin' somethin else the next time right?
