Your running a p11 or B15 trans. I have noticed this on every single b15 and p11 trans out there that i have installed and driven and on buddies cars. Third gear is a biatch to get into especially when trying to hit it quicker than just lazy gaggling it in. I dont know what it is with them. I never had any problems on b13 and b14 trans, matter fact 3rd glides in on those.
Its like it hits a wall. My buddy messed up the teeth on the shift collar for the 3rd gear causing it to get 3rd gear popout. We had another gearstack we installed and even with the new stack in there from a really low mileage trans it was still a pain to go into 3rd.
I think its an issue with how the shift forks and shafts are set up.
