Default Problems Shifting from 6th to 5th

I own a EB 2002 6-Speed Vert and have had difficulties shifting from 6th to 5th. Typically, when I am above 70mph and attempt to downshift from 6th to 5th, my tranny will not allow me to go down to 5th until I have triple clutched and reduced my spedd before the tranny allows me to shift down to 5th.
Has anyone else experience this problem?

I have not had that problem. Take your car back to the dealership and let them fix it for you. Hopefully your Dealership wont play dumb and say "we cannot duplicate problem, all funtions are working within GM specs" I cant tell you how many times I have heard that when something was wrong and they didnt know how to diagnose the problem. :(
