Just read this, I found it all to be so true. I don't "force" it into gear, but I do have to do more than just go through the motions. Mine almost clicks when it goes into gear. Unless I miss, then it growls at me. I never had a Granny gear, so that was new to me. I find I will spin the tires in 2nd pretty easy, but then I don't have a box on right now
