the only problem i have is when downshifting from fifth to fourth i hit the wall between fourth and reverse. anyone else do this or is it just me?

I've done it once or twice, but that's because I was not being so smart (sigh) and manhandling the shifter. Just handle the shifter with an open hand - just knock it out of 5th, let it center itself, then push it straight down. It'll go into 4th.
