downshifting is perfectly healthy. I know a 350z owner, 200k on original trans and motor....downshifted the car everyday he drove it. Replaced first set of brake pads at 124k. So how exactly do you prove that it is bad for the engine and trans? I have 63k on my z and no probs with trans or diff. Every car I have driven for the past 11yrs have been manual and have yet to shred a trans. If you don't know how to PROPERLY operate a manual trans car then don't buy it.

Also to op, I had a lag in first gear for a while but I changed my air filters and seafoamed the car. That helped immensely. Hope this helps.
