Well i have driven stick before i drove an s2000 but i find driving the s2000 a bit different. I used to ride a sentra and i had a question for s2000 owners. When shifting to 2nd from 1st it would be shcky, im assuming that it may be the clutch since it has 57k miles on it but not sure, do u guys experience any thing of the sort???

sounds like you're driving an eclipse. Anyway, no I have never had that experience with my S2000. It's probably the clutch.

well for me, 1st has always been tough to engage when the car is moving. i believe this is a safety feature(gear lockout). it should be easier to enage 1st if you blip the throttle before trying.

Always fully depressing the clutch pedal during shifting is a good habit to have for driving manual cars.

First of all, please use the spell check before you post anything else. Secondly, use regular English for an explanation or a question so it can be better understood. Thirdly, I think that either you have a clutch problem or don't really know how to drive the S. I've never experienced any problem like you have described in any manual drive vehicle I've ever driven.
