Downshifting issues
Sometimes when I go to downshift it will go to neutral and instead of 3rd or 2nd. Any ideas?

No other problems, just frustrating sometimes

You just have to shift with convection!

Make sure the splines on your shifter are tight and did not slip. If shifter is hitting footboard it will stop the shift.

Agree, you want to be deliberate when you shift. If you make lazy shifts you'll get more false neutrals.
