You can avoid it by shifting at higher RPM's or getting a CAGS and killing it all together.
Hope that helps
Peace

The best way is to complete the 4th gear shift and then go for 3rd...
or
Double clutch it and shift to third.

A lot of interesting information can be found in the owners manual.
If you didn't receive one, you can read/download the owners manual courtesy of Gene Culley on GMPARTSHOUSE, a site supporting vendor in the column to the left.
He can also get you a hard copy of the manual (different manual than what you're new to)...

When the 1st to 4th light is on you cannot shift to 2nd or 3rd, you must shift to 4th,5th or 6th. If your problem shifting into 3rd occurs when the light is off you have a transmission related problem. If it happens when the light is on that is normal. For about $20 and 20 minutes you can eliminate the 2nd, 3rd lock out system by installing the CAGS. The dash light will still come on but you will be able to shift when you want.
