Sometime I find my 3rd gear hard to get in...is it normal? I remember having this issue with my MSP with 2nd gear...
Maybe because I'm not used having a normal shifter? (The MSP was my first m/t car and had a short shifter from factory) Edit: Forgot to specify I have a 6 point ceramic clutch is this information could be useful This post has been edited by TheChildOfTheSea: May 3, 2011 - 1:36 AM |

I doubt the shifter has anything to do with it. Short shifter vs stock is just the distance your hand travels to shift the gears. Anyway, Make sure your transmission has the correct amount of fluid in it, sometimes low fluid levels can cause hard shifting. Also make sure that your clutch master cylinder has the correct fluid level in it as well. These are just things to check for good measure, but it really sounds like your synchro might be going out. Does it shift hard all the time, or only on quick shifts?
