Default T56 issue. help please

I just purchased a very nice 01 ws6 about a week ago. Basically just has some bolts on car and 4.11 rear gears. Anyways it has a stg 2 monster clutch in it and a short throw shifter. Driving around normally it shifts into all gears with no problem but if I hammer down on it I cant ever get it to hit third. Its like i just slam the stick into where third is supposed to be but it wont go. I have read a lot of the forum and gathered that it could be a syncro problem but also that the drill mod may fix this problem. Am I understanding this correct? I really don't have the cash for a rebuild so I hope the drill mod would work. What do you guys think? Thanks in advance for the help!

Drill mod is really only for the problem these cars were having with the clutch pedal sticking to the floor after 1 hard gear shift. Your problem seems to be related to the transmission.

Do you have a short throw shifter. Missed third gear shift with the stock shifter are common. A Pro 5.0 shifter will cure that problem.

Yes, you should try it. The restriction slows the flow of fluid to the slave cylinder.
There's more to it than the clutch pedal sticking.
And it's not limited to shifter issues.
