That sucks bro! Don't know what to tell you. I went to the trouble of having a Hurst shifter put in, and the last few times I've gotten on it hard, I can't find 3rd for the life of me! I've driven manuals my whole life, and have never had this issue with any other cars. It really does suck!

I have never, ever, ever accidentally shifted from2nd to 5th. I hope that you are very new to driving stick, or you should have kept this story a secret.

sorry about that man it sounds like you should get some more practice and definitely buy a short throw MGW shifter and you won't miss 3rd again. I owned a '02 1.8 T and they are peppy at best you should have won in reverse.....
