I'm wondering if draining the fluid in favor of some of GM or royal purple synchromesh would fix it.
My 05 RSX's 6 speed had this problem too. Honda used motor oil from the factory and the 1/2 shift when cold was a pretty bad problem and even would pop out of 2nd gear from time to time. Honda really had nothing to say about it so some of the guys started putting the synchromesh in the tranny and low and behold, it shifted like butter from that point on. Made a BIG difference in mine.
I've got my fingers crossed my 2012 doesn't have any of that drama.
