Shifting into 3rd

Does anyone have trobule shifting into 3rd from 3nd? My car has been like this since I got it... and even after the install of short shift kit. It feels like it is getting caught on something and won't enter the gate proerly. Any ideas?

mine does the exact same thing! Every once in a while it gets caught in between 1st and 3rd(leaning more towards 3rd) from 2nd, but I think it only does it when I'm shifting really hard

I never had that problem until I installed my short shifter and I'm almost 100% positive it's because the removable shift rods (the ones everybody tells you the mark before removing) are out of alignment. Maybe your shifters suffer the same problem?

Just a theory; a few guys on this board have suggested visiting a technician, who should be able to align the shifter.

my dad had the problem shifting into first until yesterday after the delaer religned his shifter by adjusting the cables (he installed the B&M a few weeks ago...).
