I’ve never experienced the 2 nd gear issue you are describing, Ive owned 2 sc’s and 2 Carreras.The most typical nuance is that shifting into 1st or reverse sometimes requires slow and deliberate action, aside from that , the 915 really isn’t that hard to use.

I think you need to hit up a cars-and-coffee and have another 915-owner drive yours, and you check out theirs. It sounds like something is wrong, and it might be hard or easy to fix.

With my 915, I can't hammer from 1st into 2nd without a 0.4 second pause. But I still prefer it to my stick shift Focus, where you can't always be sure you're in 1st because everything is so damn smooth.
