Slow down your hand movement changing down - you need to give the gears time to match speeds which is what the synchros do - you are just pulling the gears into mesh before they have synchronised.
As the gearbox ages, the synchro rings wear and become less effective but if someone has added anti friction additives to the oil it won't help!
My first step would to be to change the gearbox oil for fresh ATF fluid.
Change the gearbox oil areyou talking about the clutch oil? When I opened it the oil inside looked good there was
nothing built up around it the rubber thing around it was good. Your saying just to be safe change it anyway?
I will slow my roll too anything to make it last a little longer than IT wants to.
