1st gear, neutral problem, still

Thanks for the help. The last two times out I released the clutch
between downshifts as suggested and it has been in 1st gear
every time so far. I do feel a little more confident now in my
stop & go antics at the stop sign. (at vacant intersections). That
seems to have solved my problem.
Thanks much,

Don
