[QUOTE="mosconiac, post: 426761, member: 4013"] 3rd gear is easy to miss if you "guide" the shifter. The fool-proof way to hit 3rd every time (with or without an aftermarket shifter) is to push the shifter straight forward from second with an open palm. The open palm is critical. That is, [u]do not try to guide it towards 3rd[/u]...allow the shifter to provide the sideways movement. It feels as if you are pushing straight into 1st, but trust me, the shifter (even the stocker) has sufficient "springiness" to get it over there...quickly. I read of this technique on this board and with faith I tried. I've not missed 3rd since. I do hold the clutch in for a fraction of a second more though, just to make sure. BTW, I went for a Tri-Ax with an MGW Ltd handle and Hurst classic white shift knob. :) [/QUOTE]
