I just bought a 2000 GTS with the 6 spd. a few days ago. Anyway, I didn't really get on it until now! I was driving about 45 in 5th gear when a civic pulls up next to me wanting to race, I tried throwing it back in 2nd really fast... but it wouldn't go in!! It didn't grind or anything, it just didn't go in! I kept the revs up and pushed the clutch in again and tried frantically throwing it in 2nd... but it still wouldn't go in!! By that time, the civic was way ahead!! It really sucked!! A few minutes later, I tried downshifting shifting again from 45 really fast, but it still wouldn't go in. I tried it one more time except this time i shifted slower, and it went in fine!!! IS THIS NORMAL? My last car was a 99 civic si and I used to be able to just SLAM it in 2nd with no problem!!! I hope my GTS is messed up!!! Please help!

Hmm.. I'm hoping that's a typo.

Did you double clutch?
