Downshifting to 2nd gear on my 1997 Saturn SL?
31 Aug 2008
I have to slow to almost a stop to downshift to 2nd gear.
I can downshift to 1st and then upshift to 2nd no problem.
All other gear work fine up and down.
Any ideas about whats wrong?
Synchro gear is probably worn. You could try to double clutch it into 2nd.
Push the clutch in and pull it out of third into neutral, let you foot off the clutch, push it back in and shift into second.
Poll: How can you simplify your life?

i can stop being so anal about organization with growing kids in the house probably, and just relax more - i should do that 
Just try to do it.If you want ti bad enough, you will achieve it.
Is there such a thing as living a simple life?

If so, how the heck do you live it?
I'm sure there is. Just hard to find.
First, you have to figure how you will make a living–hard to escape your need for food and shelter.
And where to go? Not a lot of places left where you can homestead, or just hole up without purchasing property.
In this culture, say you have found a not-to-aggravating job you can do without getting too bored, you need to learn to live with less, especially less entertainment. Less toys and electronics.
The situation is compounded by the lack of low-level, simple jobs.
In short, it's within the realm of possibility, but it would take preparation, pretty much like a career, planning and a lot of thought and some luck!
Downshifting, tires spinnin

I'm tired of choosing what to eat and want to simplify my life. I want to eat one vegan "thing" be it gruel or bar that will have 100% complete nutrition. The idea is that you won't ever have to live on anything else. Supposedly there are nomad arabs who only eat camel milk and dates for their whole life and that got me thinking. Any ideas?
There is no one thing that has all the nutrition that you need
