Difficulty shifting from 2nd to 3rd?

happens with new transmissions, the more you use it, the smoother it'll get, mine didnt get nice and smooth until about 2k, just make sure you clutch all the way

BTW, these cars are known to have rough trannys, and sensitive clutches, comes with the territory. If it wont smooth out, clutch in, back to neutral, clutch in, then back into gear, usually works for me.

i had that issue with my mach...i finally figured it out...

it was me trying to forcefully shift it...

just ease up on the shifting and let it guide itself into gear...works everytime...

That makes me feel a little bit better, maybe I just have to finesse the gears a little more. It just seems like it was smoother when I first bought the car.
1st to 2nd has been especially rough lately for whatever reason.
