    Neutral instead of 2nd Gear

    Is anyone else having an issue of thier F6B shifting from 1st to 2nd gear. I have hit neutral about half a dozen times.

    I've had this happen quite a bit. I have to remind myself to make A really positive shift from 1st to 2nd. Its user error on my part.

    It does happen every once in awhile. You need to make a definitive shift to second. When you try to shift easily...nicely...sometimes it will land in Neutral, rather than 2nd. I have had this happen 4 times in the last 10,000 miles. When it does this...just shift UP into 2nd, and all is well. There is NOTHING wrong with your trans.

    For me it is 2nd to 3rd because of my big old size 15 boot!

    Missed shift

    It's has happened to me a few times. Usually when I'm not paying attention to what I'm doing

    This has always been an issues with Hondas. Nothing wrong. Just do a definitive shift to second.

    Always when I'm not paying attention.
    There's a thread about pre-loading the shifter.
    I just have to remember every time.
