Default 3RD GEAR

is it me or is third gear a pain to shift into sometimes. I just had a brand new tranny put in and it still shifts like crap into 3rd, sometime I have to do it twice. If I do it quicker it seems fine, but I was wondering if everyone elses car does this? :confused: i love my gears except for 3rd, I find myself shifting into 4th alot just to avoid this gear sometimes.

I've had two LT4 cars, and have not seen this problem even though I beat it like a wasp in the house.

I have had issues getting it to go into reverse nicely, both cars did (do) that.

Hmmm.... :confused:

it only happens if I do it gently usually. The other gears I can use 2 fingers to shift, but third is kinda strange... Its probably just me. I dont think anything is wrong with it, I just was wondering if it was a factory thing for that tranny. :confused:
