Shifting
ok so my car won't let me downshift into 2nd gear from 3rd or neutral. i can only go into 2nd when i'm in 1st. most other manual cars i've driven would allow me to go into 2nd gear. is this normal with the mx3's?

Re: Shifting
probably buggered syncros, 2nd always dies first.
try heel-toeing, might slip in a lil easier.

Re: Shifting
Yeah I know what you mean, mine won't let me go into any gear if I have been on the interstate for very long, or if I was running it a little hard. It doesn't even matter if I grab gears or not if i run it hard it won't let me shift into any gear though, not just 2nd. so I have been wondering what I should do. I have tried replacing the throw out barrings, the slave cylinder, and the clutch master cylinder. I just wondered what a good transmission will run me.
