    Honda did address this problem publicly and they themselves do advice not to skip gears when shifting up i.e. 3rd to 5th on the s2000.

    This is most relevant to the earlier year s2k trannys because they used brass synchros.

    I also agree with mr.vtec because revving from the top of 3rd into 6th at 9k rpms puts ALOT of wear on the synchros but thats at its most extreme case.
