Which sucks.
HUhh,,, I have driven numerous manual transmission cars in my life and the Si has one of the smoothest shifting tranny's I have ever driven. Never had any trouble going into 2nd or 3rd. Shifts smooth as glass.
You guys may have a bad syncro. I would have it checked out. If it is a mechanical problem it will not improve over time only get worse.
