He's probably lucky he's not having shifting to 4th problems like some other people on this forum.

3rd gear
Sometimes I don't push hard enough to push the shifter into 3rd. Resulting in a grinding noise and me revving the motor. Haha

third has always been a bitch for me. the barton bracket helped a bit, try a barton or mgw shifter with bracket.
mgw has a 30% less throw than stock
barton has a 40% less throw than stock

Re: 3rd gear
Under hard accel sometimes my third just wont go in. It hasn't done it in a while. I think most of it is user error (me) still trying to get used to the car. Third is the only gear really that isnt a sure shot on a six or five speed.

You aren't alone. I have very intermittent issues with 3rd when I'm going balls out

I was making the statement that I was being lazy and didn't really try to put it in gear.

Don't post this on any "mainstream" mustang forums, you will get bitched out as "l3rn to drve n00b" by the mustang fanboys. Apparently after riding 2 motorcycles, a 6-speed Jeep, 6-speed VW GTI, and several straight trucks while moving with mile long gear throws i don't now how to drive standard.
I picked up a MGW shifter and as soon as i get time to install it i'll post back. I have the same issue as you with 3rd. Everyone that has gotten one says it solves the problem.
