3rd gear hell! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I know lots of us 240 people have trouble with 3rd gear. what is it? I shift from 2nd to 3rd and its like I just hit a wall, it doesn't go in gear, I have to back it out (into neutral, clutch still in) and push it back in. If i'm shifting really fast i'll let my clutch out and just grind the #### out of it trying to get into 3rd. I just can't take it anymore. I cannot enjoy driving my car if I can't shift smoothly. It did it before and after my short shifter install and with and without a weighted shift knob. My car is a 96 s14 with ~52,000 miles. Please help...
