I have talked this over with not only a HONDA AMERICA TECH and my local service guys. The Si has a crappy conical carbon fiber syncro and it creates a 2 stage shift from 2nd to third. So if you don't feel that 2nd bump in your shifting, you are NOT engaged. A Manual transmission modifer additive can be put into your tranny fluid, or you can use that AMsoil **** that has the modifiers already in it. This will help the issue, NOT solve it. I guess from what i have heard this is an old problem that has haunted Acura Integras for years. Good luck getting honda to fix it.
