Default 2nd gear sucks !!
Please excuse my English guys !!

I always feel like there is "something" at the gate of 2nd gear, never a smooth shift into 2nd, now its happening to 3rd but not as bad. Is the Z manual transmission designed like this?? anyone has this problem or is it just my car ?? thanks

Sounds like your Transmissions acting up or the clutch needs adjusting.
Take it to your Dealer for a check up.

I got a new engine at 2900 miles. Mechanical items can have unexpected problems.

It feels like that for me too sometimes. But it only happens when I shift too quickly,

Take it to the dealer. And if you abuse the trans/clutch, schitt will happen.
