As far as skip shift goes, it will say it on the DIC (driver information center). It will gave a 6 speed H pattern displayed and will highlight the 1-4 shift pattern. I could hit 2nd gear about 3 or 4 times before it would unlock. When I DD'd the car i would jump 1st to 3rd probably 85% of the time and it will indeed lock out 2nd and 3rd. I haven't seen the message since probably 2020 because I got the car tuned and it got turned off. I dug up a photo from an old thread of the message you will see and has the criteria for skip shift to turn on/off. If you're pushing past skip shift, you can severely damage the trans. So hopefully what you're experiencing is just a notchy shifter and not you muscling past skip shift.

Thanks for the info on the shifter and skip shift! I'm a totally newb when it comes to 5th gens.
I don't believe I'm seeing the skip shift on the driver information center, but I'm usually not looking down there anyways, unless I'm checking my speed. I'm just listening to the engine and shifting. I'll pay attention on the way home from work today. For now I've just been going 1st to 3rd... but I did try 2nd twice yesterday one time it was fine the other time it grinded a little before it locked in.
(After re-reading the info on skip shift you posted, I'm definitely over 19mph in first and over 21% throttle. So I doubt this is a skip shift problem)
Another thing with the car I just noticed, my speedometer is 5mph slow. At 75mph, I'm actually going 80mph. At lower speeds it's more accurate, 55mph is around 58mph actual speed, etc. The car has stock size tires on a stock 20" wheels.
I'm guessing the rear end has a different gear ratio than stock?
