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 ? |

Old topic, but I have been noticing something like this on my car.. Before I sent the car in for a service at my Toyota dealer I could push it into first no matter what (if this is good or bad is kinda not the point, so no flaming!). After the car came back I can't go from 2nd or higher and down into 1st anymore. Without almost stopping completely. I was starting to get pissed because I was under the impression that they had messed something up at the service, but what they probably did was fix something..
 My old car didn't have this "problem", or rather feature I guess, to stop you from going down into 1st gear.Atleast now I know that this is supposed to be like this. I usually downshift into 1st when I know that I'm going to have to stop completely so that the car is "ready to go" in 1st when I can start driving again. (green light, pedestrian have crossed or whatever). I suppose I should just put it in neutral then and go from neutral and into 1st when the light hits green. --------------------  |
