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

Are you aware of this? If not, most times on the manual cars you need to be higher up in the RPM's to get a clean shift into 2nd gear, or it will have a "doesn't want to shift" into second gear, and is made to make you go straight to 4th. Fuel saving thing they said at GM.
