Edit2: Perused the '09 S2000 manual and it says nothing so I guess I was wrong
Thought it was common enough knowledge among sports car enthusiasts (especially 86ers, I can't imagine why you wouldn't cross shop an S2000 at least to get a good idea of what the competition is) to warrant posting without evidence, apologies.
Here's the manual for giggles:

Edit3: In normal day to day driving on the street I don't think it'll be a problem, transmissions wear out eventually and a premature rebuild isn't the end of the world, hell if you're economical enough you might save enough gas money to cover the cost of the rebuild

I guess i never thought of the gear split internally, in reference to skip shifting.

When I do skip shift it is not in a spirited manner and I engage the higher gear very slowly...because if was in a hurry i wouldn't be skip shifting. But this is definitely something to think about, and a very good thing for people to read and understand.
