Starting to feel tarded...
In my Gen 5 manual I had to let the shifter find the gate for 3rd naturally...... I too had the same problem from the 4 speed muscle cars I was used to driving..... I would over shoot the gate for 3rd..... the gate for third is the shifters natural position.... let it guide itself center and tehn give it an upward motion.....
