Join the club, I've got problems getting it into third whenever I'm above 5000 rpm. Dunno why this is happening but someone on scoobchat told me "they all do that"..

It still doesn't make me feel better though. I will either sell my car or get a quaife gearbox to go into it..

Try a good gearbox oil - it usualy improoves it no end - like castrol syntrax or some of the redline stuff that peeps have mentioned..
