And the tranny shouldn't allow you to put it into first at any speed above 20mph, and in 3rd gear you should at least be at 80mph if you're speed shifting.

Other than that, I have no idea how you would misshift 3rd to 1st and not 3rd to 2nd.. But anythings possible from certain group of people

Re: RSX owners "this is how you should NOT drive"
Its easy for a newbie to mis-shift from 3rd to first if they are trying to shift into 4th. All it takes is the wrong grip on the shifter pushing up into 4th. If you have your hand on the side of the sifter vs the back of it.. you could push it into 1st instead of 4th. I know I did this a few times when I was first learning to shift.

Capster - We're talking about 6speeds here. If you can somehow manage to confuse FIRST (top left) for FOUTH (straight down) then you shouldnt be driving :\
I did 5th to 2nd a couple of times in my first prelude.. Meant to do 5-4
But I cant see how you would go up instead of down unless something is wrong with you
