I just bought an '80 CJ-5 with a T-176 tranny and a 304 V8 - this is my first jeep so I'm just a beginner here.. I'm not really a "car person" yet but I'm trying my best to learn everything I can..

Anyway, it shifts up through all the gears just fine, but I'm having problems downshifting. If I'm going around a turn and need to go from 3rd to 2nd, most of the time I have to slow WAY down before getting into 2nd gear.. Every once in a while it goes right into gear, but not very often.

Any ideas what the problem might be? The guy I bought it from said he rebuilt the tranny with new synchronizer assemblies.

Thanks,
T[addsig]
