If you have an auto, it is the car telling you that you can't stay in 1. I HATE the fact that we are locked out of 1 in the SS. My Prelude wasn't like that, I heard the TL isn't like that. What is the fun of SS if the play in 1st and 2nd gear is done for you? I will slow down to 10-20mph, stomp on it in sport shift and the car desides that I want 1st gear (I do). But if I could just do it myself...

darn 6-speeds. If I didn't spend 250 miles a week in rush hour traffic....

The TL shifts automatically from 1st to 2nd as well.

You mean when you hit redline? If so, the computer cuts off the fuel. Saves you from having the valves float and the engine piling up.....

Do you mean when the automatic transmission "speed shifts" at redline into second gear? When that happens with my car, the front tires spin. Are you refering to that as roughness?
