Trouble downshifting to 1st

I'll respectfully disagree with the latter statement about SRM. It's not because no one wanted so spend the time to learn it. The benefits far outweigh the drawbacks. Smoother engagements on up and down shifts mean longer life on drivetrain parts. Money back in the manufacturer's pocket. Not only that, it's a definite safety feature on a missed shift, the car won't rapidly change wheel speed when it's engaged. And most importantly for us who have it, it's one less thing to think about it when playing track warrior on the weekends. More time focused on brake points, hitting the apex and your immediate surroundings. For gentlemen such as yourself, turn it off. I'm pretty sure most women who happen to somehow find themselves in a SP Z or Nismo won't be downshifting when coming to a stop, they will most likely just press the clutch in and either put it in 1st or neutral when at a stop.
