Default 2nd gear shift problems!

Anyone have a problem shifting into second gear from first or down shifting from 3rd. I thought it was the shifter and I put in a B&M but I am still having the same problem. It seems to happen quit a bit when just cruising around not racing. I have had a couple of other 6 speeds inculding a C5 and never had a problem. Any ideas

Thanks
Mike

I have a c6 z51 and it occasionally does the same thing when I'm downshifting from 3rd to 2nd at cruising speeds. I often have to double clutch it to get it into 2nd. Annoying at times, but I'd rather deal with it than bring it to the dealer. If the problem is constant, then I would bring it in before other problems occur as a result of this one.

It is getting to be pretty annoying and I'm worried that when I'm flat shifting it won't go into second and I'll brake something or lose a drag race (on the track of course) any ideal on what causes this? I had a 2001 Vette and it shifted great!
