We all have that problem, I can't get my second gear to engage on my Tornado or Tsunami, I am still trying to figure that one out. I have the same problem w/ my Jato, they just don't like to hit second gear, lol. Try adjusting the little set screw on the second gear of the tranny, it's supposed to help but not always. Just don't loosen it too much or the screw and the little spring will fall out & you'll have an even bigger problem. Let me knbow if that helps.
