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.
Sounds more like a slipping clutch than a transmission issue...

I would put Honda MTF and change the knob!
I know nobody cares about the knob but quite a few people here can confirm that car is very picky when it comes to shift knob.
So your aftermarket shift knob might be playing a part in that, get something else and see if you face the same issues.
I would just put honda MTF and another shift knob and go from there.
Hope it helps.
And stop racing in straight line and bring it out to an autocross to see what this car can do...else you might end up with messed up diff and tranny
