If I’m going really slow or really quick it seems fine otherwise. I’ve been skipping from 1st to 3rd or starting out slowly in 2nd most of the time because it’s becoming a really consistent problem. I haven’t beat on the car yet, it was fine the first couple of days.

The car has the hurst short throw shifter. I’m hoping something just needs to be adjusted, wrong fluid in the transmission, or something else simple, lol. What does everyone think?

Also my drivers side heated seat doesn’t work, but the passenger side does.
What should I be looking for? Any common issues?
The light for the drivers side heated seat lights up for a minute or 2, then it shuts itself off

I cannot speak for the shifting issues you are having... but I do know the drivers side heated seat issue is common. I have first started to notice this not long after I purchased the Camaro from a private seller. The same thing happened such as your heated seat switch/light. I did some research and found that it is a broken heating element wire in the backrest or a burnt out connector under the seat etc... That is most likely the issue and there are some troubleshooting things you can do to repair it. I looked into it on my end and following the link/instructions... and decided to leave it as is for now as I live in Florida. Here is a link that may get you started...
