Shifting?

[Jester065]

I have owned my lady for about a year and a half and I lover her. I under stand the unsynchronized transmission and i do well from first to second, but going from third to second or when i go from second to neutral because i think i am going to stop at a light, but it turns green going from rolling neutral to second gets me. Does anyone have any tips? I see some talk about MC. I am assuming we are talking master cylinder? Please put answers in a form a newie can understand. Thank you for your help.

Yes MC is Master Cylinder.

With my truck it sometimes helps to shift it into 3rd or 4th and then into 2nd, 1st or reverse.

This helps if I am downshifting into 2nd when I thought I would be stopping like your scenario above.
