Whoa - thanks for all the replies and input! I will monitor the process as I know sometimes it is clunky then other times it is not so much. I've tried several different means of downshifting and for the most part I usually start 4-3-2-1 just as I roll up to a light or stop. I don't let the clutch out in between. I noticed that blipping the throttle sometimes make a difference other times not. As for the oil it was just changed and I've got ~800 niles on current change and I know the level is closer to full then middle or below.

I'll keep trying different things. It seems as I'm not the only one that has experienced this so at least I feel im in the norm so to say....

Again thanks - great board and always find something new to read or learn about!
