true and yes definately understand but it mostly occurs while im pressing the brake and holding the clutch in, so when im doing that im technically not "downshifting" im just shifting into first while the clutch is depressed and slowly coming to a stop. some may ask why not just shift to first after you stop? i do sometimes and sometimes i also shift to first while clutch is engaged and braking at the same time. when i "heel to toe" (when barely moving as in less than 5 mph) it has no problem shifting to first. and of course i wouldnt really call that heel to toe shifting since you bareley have to do anything to match the revs when moving at such a slow speed. but thats hard on the car which i dont like like. sorry for the confusion, as the problem i am having doesnt occur while actually "downshifting" just shifting to first while clutch is engaged. hope this helps its hard to explain

i have the base touring. non sport touring whatever you want to call it. and no SRM
