Hey all, I have two questions I want to ask.

First, lately when I am accelerating hard or downshifting fast going into 2nd (only 2nd) I hear this almost grinding noise and it won't let me shift into the gear. It only happens occasionally, and always when I'm trying to make a fast shift, any explanations?

Second, I want to tighten the two middle AC vents as they are getting loose, is there a way to do this easily or do I need to take out the plastic covering the entire center area including the stereo?
