Someone didn't read the manual. I guess you don't know about the break in period, huh?

Your complaint about the shifter sounds normal. Many in the automotive press say the S is one of (if not THE) best shifters in the world. You may just not be use to the precision yet.

I have the same thing when going into first, and i have driven a few other S2000 that do it too, so its normal. As for break in being a bunch of BS, i believe the clutch should be broken in, and when thats done, break in the tires...

Well then just drive your car like you want to. If you know more about breaking in a car than honda does, then you dont need our help

Breaking it in IS a bitch, but you shouldn't redline on a brand new motor, IMHO.

Regarding your transmission question - my '06 had that notchy feel and a slight occasional grind going from 1st into 2nd when it was new, and when the engine and transmission was cold. Now that I have 2500 miles on it, it has smoothened out considerably. I had the same issues with my previous car, an '04 WRX, so I'm figuring there's some amount of transmission break-in going on.
