Hey guys,

My FR-S has only 10k miles and every since I picked it up in April the car cannot downshift into 2nd gear when its cold. Shifting from 1st to 2nd is a little rough but works however 3rd to 2nd or neutral to 2nd doesn't work period. Now with the winter weather it is only getting worse. It has been to the dealership twice for this issue and they claim that it is "normal" which I think is a load of bull. He did mention a TRD short throw shifter which was installed before I purchased the car. Could this be an issue and does anyone else have this problem when their car is cold.
