4+3 Acting Up
Started a couple weeks ago.
Sometimes when I put it in first gear it feels like it engaged but didn't.
Doesn't do it all the time.I don't know if it's my Trans. or the Shifter?
The shifter does have a little more play on the 1st to 2nd side than the 3rd to 4th.
Anyone experience this.?

I am going off of good sources who have told me these things. Lots of corvette challenge experience. I am not saying a 100% thats what it is but I will get pics of the parts to let you see first hand the diffrences. Once I drive the car after it's replaced I will be able to tell you the diffrence first hand. We'll get'er fixed up for ya!

When this happens does it feel like it's positively going into gear, or does it feel different?
A very sloppy shifter can allow the shifter to go in between the shift gates. You'd need to remove it and press it back together or shim it to take out the slop.
Or when this happens does the shifter not move side to side like it should in neutral? Such as towards reverse or 3 & 4? This would be caused by a loose shift rod or link, but would not be an intermittent problem.
If you find you need to replace it I have one for sale. I think the little plastic/rubber bushings in it are shot though so you'd have to try and reuse yours or buy new ones.
