Shifting into 3rd with lateral G and driving against the clock is hard guys. Really figured it out on my last run which I proceeded to blow due to getting greedy in the last braking zone ...

Any tricks for making it easier to select the right gear? Short shifter? Or does that make it harder?
Mtec shift springs generally make the shifts feel a bit more snappy which might help.
I wasn't a fan of the torque solutions shifter I tried. Originally with stock shifter bushings, then both front carrier and rear bushing. Shift effort went up and was so tight it made it hard skipping gears on downshifts around town. Kept the bushings and removed the shifter.

I think IRP could be a solution, few friends who track run it and have nothing but good things to say.
