Hurst Shifter Difficult 3rd

[KPW]

Hi All,

I've been enjoying my ZR-1 as much as the fair weather allows, and digging into a ton of these forum posts. Awesome.

I've found that while driving (and parked with the engine off) selecting 3rd gear can hang up a bit in the shifter. I have a Hurst that the PO installed. Has anyone had a similar issue?

Just changed the trans fluid tonight (haven't driven yet but still same engine off feeling), clutch level seems OK, and I've done the ZFDoc clutch hydraulics test (coasting down once at temp and pushing the clutch in, waiting 2 sec, and then selecting 1st and reverse), and everything seems smooth there.

I might have some time in the next few days to dig into the console and inspect the shifter from above. Anything I should keep an eye out for?

Thanks!

UPDATE: Just drove it. Seems to hang up only sometimes. Played with it idling in the driveway a bit, seems smooth most times, then seems to bind up and not fully achieve 3rd (sometimes 2nd and 4th as well). Starting to think it's just not lining up right sometimes, maybe needs rebuilt? Tough to say as I don't know much about the mechanics of this shifter.

Overall shift quality was improved by changing the trans oil though so that's good!
