The gate can be a little confusing with 3rd and 5th gear. The lever will automatically return to between 3rd and 4th when in neutral. I have done it a couple of time when down shifting from 6th to 5th and accidentally selecting 3rd.

More not paying attention to what I was doing I think and letting the stick centre itself.

You have to be firm and deliberate when selecting gears. This is not a 'change with 2 fingers' gear box. Shift springs from MTEC may help with that, but, I'm not too sure. Someone who has them may be able to assist.

I have a set but just haven't got around to installing.
