No, no, no, you got it all wrong. You must select "R" for RACE!

Sounds like your syncro's are shot for 2nd gear.

I would start with changing your lights mate!! and then getting a new windscreen cleaning fluid. All those mods should add about 87psi boost to your gearbox syncros and then u could shift much, much faster. I did that, took my car to the dyno and ended up with 850wbhp. next summer though I m gunna change my battery for a new one so I hope I can reach the 1001bhp of a bugatti veyron.

I still want to know what exactly will happen if

" I loose one more bleeping race "

Got a feeling that day is coming when the next soccer mom in a new Camry edges him out of a merge lane.

Sounds like you have a bad trans, bring it to the dealer for warranty work unless you consider griding between 1st and 2nd to be normal.

FYI: The trans is known to have a issues with 2nd gear. It is a weak point.

True, I find no harm in an occassional 0-Speed Limit race. Losing due to a shift-issue on the car is frustrating.

Change to a good tranny fluid, our mazda fluid is well known to be bad.

I had some problems with Reverse and 2 gear before I switched and never had any problems after that.

Surely you mean "lose" and not "loose"
