Yea same as me!! Driving like a nanna, shifted from 3 to 2 as I was slowing to make my driveway and clunk clunk clunk FUCK!!!! clunk clunk. Sounds like you might have just taken a tooth, maybe not. You'll have to get the box open to be sure either way.

it gets a rough life.
downshifting into second and decelling hard over time will set the gear up to fail no doubt.

As Doug was explaining to me: he believes the teeth sort of becomes worn/bedded that one way under heavy accelerating loads, and when the loads go the other way under deceleration it is not as strong and maybe has (basically invisable) stress fractures or somesuch that don't cause an issue when accelerating yet cause a failure.
