I don't have any problems with 3rd gear. Goes in nice and smooth. I have, however, noticed that some gears do want to "pop" out of gear sometimes. Usually happens in the morning with colder weather. Just this morning, I shifted into 2nd, or at least I thought I did. And like was already mentioned, the shifter did not fully engage, and came out. Fortunately, I had not released the clutch, and did not grind the gear.

Rarely happens though. This was the first time in I'd say a year that this had happened.

Since I know that this sometimes is an issue with our transmissions, I usually warm up the shifter while the car is warming up in the morning... Clutch all the way in, and I go through all the gears a few times... Seems to make the gearbox a little smoother... but I don't know
