Default Missing Third!!!!

Call me whatever you want... but I keep missing third gear in races. I have the factory hurst option. What shifter, if any, will help this driver malfunction?

hey bro, ws6store short stick! a whopping 30 bucks, and the best mod I have done to the car so far Shifting is so much more precise, and tight. Works killer with the factory hurst, not really a need to buy anything else.

Well, short stick does make the transmision more notchy for sure.

It is faster with the short stick for sure. One thing I have noticed is to push it away from you open hand more than grabbing the **** and shifting.

I do the same. I used to miss third a lot but then I started pushing it in harded, I found that my leg was faster than my arm. Still, you should give the ws6store short stick a try, for 25 bucks why not?? I love mine.
