2nd to 3rd i'd have to say is my 2nd hardest gear to get into, but i usually hit it. I have a hurst shifter and it's probably no better than stock when it comes to my miss shift rate, but it sure feels like i'm shifting faster. 4th to 5th is extremely hard to hit. I tried going 4th to 5th when i got a ricer flyby by a prelude and he pulled about 3 more cars because i missed 5th 3 times IN A ROW!.....and no i wasn't intoxicated when this happened

, just a little peeved that he flew by me (this is before most of my mods, i would have stomped it in a second now).
