[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1396717, member: 3828"] Not common. The most likely scenario is that the shifter is not returning to center after the previous downshift. Since there is a ratchet / pawl on the shifter, if it doesnt make it back up to center it wont be able catch the next down shift. Reasons for not making back to center would be your boot resting on the shift lever, or the lever shaft needing some cleaning and greasing. If it is not one of those two things it would have to be an internal problem with that ratcheting star wheel. Very uncommon. [/QUOTE]
