Default problems? dont really know what exactly

Just got a used 06 B/B s2k! yay! while I love the car and am excited to own a s2k Im having a minor problem with it. At the dealer it felt fine or maybe it was the excitement of owning one. The next day I noticed that the clutch is really light and soft. Some people say its supposed to be that way and others say its not. My friend owns an 07 and his clutch is much stiffer. Also the gears do not go in as smoothly as his does. The car has extremely low miles..5k..so dont know why the clutch and tranny would feel the way it does even if the previous owner abused it. I took it back to where I bought it to get it checked out and they said there is absolutely nothing wrong with it, however a few people who own s2ks checked it out and say they definately feel that it has a loss of power and either clutch or tranny is slightly messed up. Im going to take it to Gardena Honda soon to get a second opinion. Love the car though just worried since I just got it

Welcome Try having the clutch fluid bled. If there is air in the line than it could cause the pedal to feel soft and spungy, which would probably make the tranny not shift as well. Good luck.

^^^While you're at it, change the tranny fluid as well. This is a 10min DIY job and your car is due anyway. Regardless of miles, I change mine every year.
