I had the same problem with my 03 Mach1 as well. About 900 dollars later the problem was solved. I put in a beefed up heavy duy clutch and a Steeda shifter. Now, I can shift from 2nd to 3rd at around 6500 RPM without a problem. There's something about the Tremec tranny's and the syncros that causes this problem. It felt like hitting a wall with mine. It just simply would not go into 3rd at high RPM's. Now it does. Good luck with it.

Yeap... I know exactly what you mean. I did it three times in a row in Ga for the meet when me and Joe was going head to head in a bracket race.
You did what? Hit the wall going from 2nd to 3rd three times in as row, or hit it three times in a row? Even with my upgrades, I still occasionally miss 3rd. But, ain't it a blast in the *** to actually engage and finish the quarter at your best speed?

See I just put a SPEC stage 2 clutch in about 3000 miles ago. I have heard of the pro 5.0 shifter bending the pin on the bottom before but only once. I am going to order a tir-ax and see if it still binds going in gear if it does then I guess I need a new tranny. probably get a 6 speed and some 4.10s and be done with it. Then the only thing I would have left to do is my head swap and forging the bottom end. Oh yea and throwing the 12# pulley for the SC that I have waiting in the garage.
