Default 1987 4+3 Shifting 2nd to 3rd issues.

I have not had a chance to bleed the clutch of my newly bought 1987 Corvette and have not driven it yet. But while trying to shift gears with the car off, going from 2nd to 3rd, the neutral position feels like it is getting caught on something, making it difficult to move to the third gear from second without having to push through whatever it is stopping it. If this is hard to understand, I will clarify or even post a video of it.

First start with is the Master and all Fluid levels in the two transmissions are Verified, Then wait until you drive the car and it is Warmed up before you say there is a problem, T-10 transmissions are not the smoothest shifting if they are sometimes called Rock Crushers for a reason.
