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

OEM Hurst short throw i assume? Has the Hurst "H"on the stick? If thats the case i can say that, that shifter is extremely notchy. Two weeks prior to ordering my 1LE back in 2013, I test drove an SS that was optioned with the Hurst shifter. It was super hard to get into gear and had a very distinct click and almost hesitation going into gears. 2nd was definitely worse than 3rd or 4th but that hesitation was still there just not as prevalent as 2nd. Literally exactly like you describe it is how I remember it. Youre pulling into the gear and it feels like its there (first notch) then you pull a little harder and it clicks and notches in a 2nd time.
If youre looking to upgrade the shifter i highly recommend MGW
