i dont know about the s2000s but almost every honda that i have owned does not like being downshifted into first. it can cause a lot of damage just due to the gearing of the first gear. most manual transmissions manufactorers do not bother putting synchros into first gear as well as reverse due to the fact that the only time one needs to shift into them is from a complete stop when the engine is at a low rpm
