Didn't u hear me when me matt, matt, and my g/f went for a drive, it sounded like i missed a gear, it actually wouldn't go into the gear so I had to put a lil force behind it

Are you still running the stock shifter? when i changed to an sts, i have little or no trouble getting in gears compared to what it was when it was stock

I would start off replacing the tranny oil. A worn clutch can also make the tranny shift harder as well.

this is a common problem with srt-4's. mine is the same way, like max said the aftermarket STS with booger bushings really help.

Sounds like the synchros are ****ting out on you man. Third gear is the only thing that gave me problems as my tranny gave out. Sucks man good luck.

Why not try some Redline MTL, BG syncroshift or Pennzoil syncromesh for your tranny oil. Definitely worth a shot.
