The S has had 1st gear to 2nd problems. A little gear grind, you know crunch 'n munch. There were service bulletins on it in the early days. Supposedly was fixed on newer models. However, I have that problem on my '05. Definitely worse in the cold weather.

Didn't know 3rd gear was also problematic. Certainly can be fixed by the dealer. It sounds like the synchros are the culprit.
