sometimes, when im on the highway going about 55mph in 5th gear at like 3000rpm, i try to upshift to 6th gear and i cant seem to put shifter into 6th.
it feels like it gets stuck. it happens once in a while and its really annoying b/c i have to dc, and im not even good at that.

well does anyone else have this?

 

Take your time for hte 5-6 shift. Don't rush or force it.

 

thats one advice i heard, so i tried to take it easy and did it slowly and nicely. it still gets stuck once in a while though....

 

The time it takes to shift from 5th to 6th should still be less than the time it takes for the revs to drop between gear. Have you tried pulling straight down and not pushing down and to the right?

 

I've never had a problem with 5 to 6. I find it easiest to just face my palm outwards when shifting.

 

i never have a problem going into 6 gear.

 

Exactly what I do.

 

I also use this technique and have never had any problems hitting 6th!

 

I don't have a problem shifting to 6 if I go 1-2-3-4-5-6. But I noticed if I go 6-5-6, meaning shifting down from 6 to 5th and then back to 6, I have a harder time finding the gear. Maybe it's just me.

 

It's the least used shift, so it may take some time for the linkage and synchros to break-in.

Even the shift into 5th gear seemed stiff when I got my car 3 weeks ago, and it's loosened up nicely.

 

 

Ditto. Same goes for 1st to 2nd...same technique because 1st to 2nd is not that smooth either. I just grab the shift knob for this one.
