Guys Im in a bind and unsure what to do. The transmission shifts good 1 to 2 and 2 to 3. When I go to shift it hard from 3 to 4 its got a really bad hang spot in between. So every time I run the car I have to grannny shift it into 4th killing my MPH. Does anyone else have this problem and is there a fix? Any help would be great,THANKS.

I see that you have a totally stock '04. So before you start throwing money into a new shifter I would take it to your dealer and have the check it. Did it start recently or has it always tended to hang up going into 4th.

Its just the 3 to 4 shift. I tried putting the stock shifter in and same results. I went 11.601 @117.8mph last night. I feel my mph is 2-3mph low because I have to shift so slow into 4th killing my ET also.

Never had a problem with the 3-4 shift. I think the 2-3 shift at high rpm's is a scarier shift if you ask me. :( If the problem persists get it checked out pronto.

I had the same problem when mine was stock. Always had trouble at the track with the 3-4 shift. I installed a firewall adjuster and clutch quadrant, problem solved!
