I took the Z out today for a spirited run through the mountains and I had some problems with 2nd to 3rd shifts



2nd to 3rd shifts are usually very smooth, but today It felt like 3rd was gone?

Installed one the first weekend after my '01 came in... no such problems in 3.5 years. Sure it's the shifter?

Good luck

I've had mine for almost a year and never had problem, until today.

I'll take the car out tomorrow and see if the problem repeats

If not I will chalk it up to driver error

Almost 2 years with mine and no problems. Like the crisp feel. Seems to just slide into 3rd without any problem.
