Default Shifting 2-3rd

2000 Base M6. Not always but at times it don’t want to go into 3rd gear easily but will go, and other times no issues All other gears fine with no issues. Changed fluid last spring.
thanks

Only 2 things it could be, something internally in the transmission, or shifter alignment.

Thanks, as I understand there are no adjustments arms as on the old ones. Hopefully it was just a fluke. Don’t like the thought of tearing into it.

There may be no adjustment arms, but there is a way to adjust the whole shifter.
