downshifting problems, is all celicas like this ? Options

[Akuza]

ok when i try to downshift at high rpm it doesnt want to go in
like when im in second and i try to shift to first it wont let me in and i tried forcing it in but still no go i have to be like almost dead stop to shift or like 1k rpm in order to do that
and for higher gears its like 2k rpm
but for cars like hondas they go in all the time

think a mr2 tranny will fix this or no ?

i never downshift into first. i always come to a stop and or a slow rolling sttop and rev it up a little bit and put it in. dont try it, it is bad for your car. sometimes i do wish i COULD be able to downshift it from 2nd to 1st when i'm going 15-20mph, for racing purposes. but you cant. its like this for every manual ive ever driven.
