downshifting from 3rd to 2nd WHACK hey guys, i recently just put a ls7 clutch in my car, but before when i would drive my car would upshift fine in any gear, but when i was slowing down, for ex. slowing in third to take a turn wanting to downshift into 2nd the stick wouldnt go in, i would have to rev it to about 3500 rpms and wiggle the stick in. sometimes its worse than others but it always does it. i figured it might be the clutch cause it was worn and going out, but after i put my clutch in ( only has 15 miles on it ) it still does it, but doesnt seem as bad . it goes in a little easier than it used to . any answer guys???? thanks -josh

Are you the original owner of the car? Cause if you arent maybe the previous owner beat the hell out of it. Cause my car only has 62K and the transmission blew on it, lost the countershaft, two gears, all the bearings one synchro assembly and a few other small parts. And i dont beat on it that much either but I'm guessing the other guy did and didnt know what he was doing either, but I would get it looked at by someone you trust.

+1 for them
