He told me I gota make sure the clutch is all the way down and wait like a quarter of a second before I shift, so that the hydrolics could catch up. This is with a 100% stock setup.
I took his advise and moved my seat a bit forward so to make sure the clutch pedal goes all the way down, and then instead trying to simultaneously push the clutch and move the shifter, I pushed the clutch 100%, waited a fraction of a second, then banged that ****** in there. Went in like a hot knife threw butter. Might not be the same issue for you but dosn't hurt to try.

I never thought the factory Hurst was that bad of a shifter, but with the Pro 5.0 on it way next week, I'll compare the two and write back about them.
