I have a shifting question.

My car shifts great going up from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd. Shifting down from 3rd to 2nd is also great. But, I seem to have trouble going down to 1st. Here is what I'm experiencing.


If approaching a stop sign, for example...If I'm in 3rd and want to shift down to 1st, it doesn't want to go. If I come to a complete stop and then shift to 1st, I can shift very slowly and get it to shift without too much grinding. Yesterday, I discovered that if I shift from 3rd down to 2nd and then from 2nd to 1st, it goes very smoothly. I also noticed that the "key" seem to be feeling a click when I shift from 2nd to neutral. If I feel that click, I know it will go on down to 1st smoothly.

Any thoughts on this?
