Second gear pops out on decel 850

posted by  someone claiming to be Blake on  Sat Jun 28 13:21 CST 2008 [RELATED]

Persay, a red light quarter of a mile a way, going 50 mph, I throw the car in third, brings the revs up to match the speed with the trans and let it on out. Generally I just engine brake in third, but when going around a slow turn, second comes in to play, ones again, I always match the RPM, I love heel and toe, and since the petals are so close together... Usually never go down to first, unless pulling into my drive way, which is downhill. Engine mounts are very tight, no abnormal movement. Also I never grind gears. I have noticed a leak on the out board transmission gasket (driver side). Have yet to check the oil since I can't figure a way, short of a lift, to raise the car evenly. Maybe low on oil? Trans is quiet as a mouse, shifts smoothly.
Thanks,
Blake
