A fuse? What the fuck are you talking about?

"Damn 4th gear went out today"

'Did you check the fuse, it might be blown.'

thats not what i ment.....ive seen cars that have a "safety" feature that wont let them downshift unless its under a certain mph....

What car is that?

It's most likely the 1-2 syncro is worn. You could try changing your tranny fluid more often. But the best fix would be replace the syncro.

When you take apart your tranny in class. Use petroleum jelly to hold together little parts like the inserts for the syncros. It makes life a whole lot easier. It would be easier to leave the syncro assembly together though. And make sure you check for snap rings...

rather than try and put your car in first at like 10mph, why not just learn not to put it in first until your car is stopped.

....and changing fuses?..... :duh:
