Occasionally "missing" 3rd gear?
So, a couple times when I hit 3rd gear under hard acceleration, the shifter will travel into what appears to be the 3rd gear gate, but will not actually be in third gear as when I let the clutch out the car is in neutral. So, ill step back in on the clutch, and try to push the shifter farther up to ensure it is all the way in 3rd, but it doesn't move. So, then I try to pull it out of third and it is stuck in the gate and requires a pretty good jerk to get it back to the neutral gate. This has only happened twice, but I'm wondering what is going on. It almost feels as if its kinda between the 3rd and 5th gate like I moved the shifter too far to the passenger side when going to grab 3rd. Can this happen where the shifter is actually stuck between 3rd and 5th? Or what is the problem? I realize I've probably just missed the 3rd gear gate but was wondering whats actually happening. Thanks ahead of time!
