Hey guys. My 06 GT is my first car w/ a manual transmission, and I am having problems w/ the shifter. It seems like when I want to go into first gear at a stop it just wont, or it will jam and make a weird buzzing sound. I have the clutch all the way in when I do this, but the problem persists. Is this somthing a new short throw shifter should fix, and if so, do you guys have any reccomendations?

I was having the same problem with the stock shifter. If I came to a complete stop with the shifter in neutral it was very hard to get it into 1st to take off. I could get it into 2nd with no problem. I would have to put it into 1st before I came to a complete stop. I had the Hurst Short throw installed last week and I have not run into this problem since. Not sure if the short throw helped but it is nice.

How often does this happen?
If your syncro was bad, You wouldnt be able to get it into gear.
Mine does this occasionally, not very often.
Try this:
In neutral, let the clutch out and let the tranny spin for a few seconds, push the clutch back in, and try again.
Or, with the clutch in, go into second and third or whatever..pop into a few gears to move things around, and try it again.
If this doesnt help, try the dealer.
If all else fails, you CAN start in second. You'll just bog for a little bit.
