2nd to 3rd-no go
Anyone else have problems shifting from 2nd to 3rd under full throttle?
Under normal driving conditions it shifts fine.
Car is 2014 C7 with 7spd manual, Z51 and E-Force.
Have owned many many manual trans cars and Chevy really blew it with this one. They should have stayed with a 6spd or even a 5. That extra gate is just a PITA.

Lots of people miss 3rd under full throttle. I was having big issues with it at the track myself. I upgraded to the MGW shifter and it was 100% worth it. Haven't missed 3rd since.

I can hit it fine IF I LIFT. If I use the "no lift shift", which works fine for every other shift, I miss third almost every time. It doesn't go in first, third, or fifth, it's just not in any gear.
I'm really considering a MGW shifter.

Thanks for the replies. Looks like the mgw is in my future.
Will try a little more searching on this as well. Didn't turn up much the first time though. Must have been using the wrong key words.

Shift ****
What is everyone using for a shift ****? The MGW **** looks really functional but a little cheap as well.
Looking for something shaped like the race **** but in aluminum, carbon or leather. Most of what I'm finding is just the round plastic ball. Can't believe MGW doesn't offer or partner with someone that offers a larger selection.
Have spoken to two friends running the MGW in their mustangs and highly recommend as well.
