Quick tip, at high RPMs, don't hit third by going "up and to the right", try "almost straight forward" and it will go in every time. I added a JHR shifter bracket and never miss third. It didn't really change the feel of the shifter but it does seem to make getting it into the gate more consistent than the stock piece.

That's what I do. I just throw the shifter forward and let the it return to dead center and it usually goes straight into 3rd. Sometimes I just push too fast.
