Hey, just got my s2k, 3 weeks ago, manage to put 1500miles on it aready. I've own a rsxs and a sti, both stick, so I would not say I'm a novice at driving stick, not a pro either though. Well, driving this s2k, it seems no matter how I adjust my left foot to hit the clutch, or how fast or slow I adjust my right hand to shift, or adjust my seat distant for my left leg, 95% of the time I shift into 3rd gear, it's a little clunky or notchy, not as fluid as the other gears. Does anyone of this problem? I keep on telling myself, maybe it's the distance and speed that I'm engaging and disengaging my clutch, hence 5% of the time, when i shift into 3rd gear it is very fluid. Is it just my driving habit and I need to relearn shifting in the s2k, or is it just the way the gear box is in the s2k?
