I definetely agree with this guy...the Prelude SportShift is stupid proof. It won't let you down shift if you're not at the right RPM and it won't let you over rev either. Sounds like an electrical problem if anything else. BTW with the SportShift, if you use it a lot I'd recommend a transmission cooler, or change your tranny fluid more often (ever 15,000 or so....drain and fill don't flush!)
