Every now and then the shifter won’t allow the gear to go into second when downshifting from third. Almost feels like it’s bouncing off a wall. Usually the way to quickly fix it while driving is to go slow enough where you can drop into first then go back into second. Otherwise a lot of times second gear will be locked out until you shift into first, first. I’m absolutely not the only person experiencing this issue. I have other friends with the same shifter and the same issue. We had it installed at different shops so I know it’s not unique to my car or a certain shop not knowing how to install the shifter, that would be way too coincidental on too many levels. The issue occurs here and there but I think it happens more frequently in warmer weather. I never experienced this with the stock shifter so what you guys say? I’ve seen other guys have similar issue on this forum or at least when described it seemed similar so my question is what’s occurring. To me this doesn’t seem like MT82 lockout considering that seems to have to do more with power shifts at redline causing a syncro issue, misshift/lockout, while this is occurring at 45mph when dropping from third to second calmly, so that’s not what’s going on here. I never experienced this with my stock shifter so any insight would help.
