Default Hurst short throw shifter grind into third

I recently installed a Hurst short throw shifter in my 08 GT but for some reason it grinds going into third onlyat high RPM's. I bought it to elliminate that. Anybody else have that problem or know what i did wrong.

"Usually" if the problem is torque twisting, it will be hard going from 1st to 2nd gear, it may be you have a bad 3rd gear synchro.

Actually, I had the same problem with the stock shifter and it was mostly the 2-3. 1-2 occaisionally. The CHE K member brace with torque limiters will fix that right up.
