Shifting into second
 I have a 2SS 2010 sometimes I have a problem shifting into second gear and have to go into third instead. Is this a problem anyone else is having?

Skip shift maybe? Lol. Gas saving measure. Do a search on GM skip shift.

Are you talking about the Skip Shift feature, or is it grinding?
Skip shift... a little shift pattern symbol comes up on the dash. You can get a cheap little doohicky to plug into the trans harness to eliminate that. Search skip shift eliminator, many of the vendors here can get you one. |

Mine will display a message when the transmission is getting hot that forces me into 1st to 4th mode until it cools down, but you have to be running her hard for that. I have a 6 speed with short shifter though. No problem at all shifting into second though.

The wife has the same problem when she drives I thought it was something I was doing. It just happens more than it should. One thing for sure I love my Gen-5.

mine hits 2nd everytime, the only time I had an issue before was prior to the skip shift eliminator being installed.
Hardest gear to hit in my opinion for a new driver would be 3rd. It took me awhile to really get used to third. Now any gear is a breeze. |

The skip shift eliminator sounds like the solution. I'm sixty years young and been driving sticks for over forty years. Real hot rods have three pedals.
