Corvette C6 6 Speed transmission malfunctioning

durn1

hello! I just bought a 2008 c6 corvette and sometimes when I'm shifting from 1st to 2nd gear it gets stuck and I kinda have to fight it to get it out. If you have any idea what would be causing this please let me know. Thanks!!

you must shift to 4th when it does that. it is normal/designed operation in order to avoid gas-guzzler tax / low mpg.
it is called cags or skip-shift. i short-shift into 2nd when i want to avoid it. you can eliminate it by unplugging a wire to the transmission and putting a resistor at the end of the wire, or with an aftermarket ECM program.
the resistor is often sold as 'skip-shift eliminator'. ps - enjoy the 30mpg highway !

What happens if you shift the transmission between gears with the engine not running and the clutch disengaged? (pedal held to the floor) What happens if the engine is running but the car is not moving? Does that change its tendency to stick? Is there any noise from the transmission during acceleration or coasting? When it sticks does tapping and releasing the throttle without disengaging the clutch allow it to shift out of gear?
