ya ive herd that syncromesh before i might try that but as far as not raceing....cant do that it too much fun ; )
What does "missing 2nd" mean? It simply doesn't go into gear at all, no matter how much force you put on the shifter? I never heard about an S2000 having that issue before, sorry. 
In any case, I prefer Honda's new MT fluid over the GM Synchromesh.

just trying to shift to second fast and hard and seems like its in but its not. if i slow down my 1st to 2nd shift i can do it no prob but id rather not lost that time if i dont have to.
thats

and
1 for syncromesh

yea ive had little notch going to 2nd as well only when shifting in high rpm though. After i changed my tranny fluid (HONDA MTF) all the problems were fixed and it now shifts real smooth in all gears ive had REDLINE fluid in it before i still think (HONDA MTF) feels better.... HONDA MTF FTW

i used this when i changed the fluid in my car, caesar used honda MTF when i did it on his, and tx_phantom and i put pennzoil MTF in his
i have no complaints, havent heard caesar say anything and mark hasnt had any issues either.
I've used GM, Royal Purple and the new Honda stuff and it makes no difference on mine.
I used to think I was hitting my elbow on the seat back when I as shifting and therefore I wasn't pulling the shifter back far enough but that's not it either.
