[T3] WHY ISNT MY NOTCH RUNNING NOW!!!!!

[William McInerney]

I am still hearing that boom sound when downshifting from 3rd to 2nd, but I am actually forcing the downshift into second. However, when I pay attention to my buddy downshift there is no sound as he allows the tranny to gently drop into second...if that makes sense???
 So, I believe with just some repetitiveness, I will be able to get a feel for the tranny and how it reacts to how I am shifting.
 
I am just glad I got the car running again and it was such a obvious thing to check that I should have checked 1st and foremost. I guess it's all a learning experience and now I know just a little more. 
 
Thanks everyone!!!
