Default 6060 2nd gear miss

It seems that 2nd gear is pretty easy to miss when under a good amount of acceleration. It don't happen all the time and has never happened while racing, just once ever so often, maybe when I'm just nonchalantly shifting.
I'm just wanting to see if this was an issue that all of the 6060 cars have or is it just my Ford.

The sintered bronze blocker ring sets have been warrantied for carbon in some models, some years of OEM applications. See your dealer if under warranty, or Tremec rebuilder if not.

Stiffer bushings, a lot of mustangs have that issue because the driveline gets out of balance or something like that at a specific rpm making it hard to get into gear. A stiffer bushing fixes it. gt500's have that issue really bad

I don't see how any bushing (trans mount) can help with missing a gear. The trans is bolted to the engine and the shifter is bolted to the trans.

Known 6060 issue on 5th Gen SS Camaros. I've found that getting the trans fully warmed up makes a difference. For me, that's about 20 minutes of driving around town.

My dads 2010 camaro had the second gear issue with around 10, 000 miles, I it wouldn't shift above around 4500 rpm without raking the gear, dealership warrantied it.
