Default 3rd gear

I haven't had my m6 long, but when ever I try to run the gears hard, I can't make 3rd gear. I have it where it needs to be it just doesn't want to go in right away. If I give it a few seconds it will go. The car is stock and shifts fine on normal driving. Any feedback is appreciated.

Stock master cylinder is junk, try the drill mod (search, there is a guide) or just go for the tick master cylinder. I eventually killed my 3rd gear synchro at the track by just trying to stuff it in. Needless to say I went tick master and faceplated gearset.

Typical symptom of the stock master cylinder. You can read more about it here: http://www.tick-performance.com/imag...kshiftfaq.html
