Mechanical question about "shifting faster"

When shifting you move the lever/transmission out of a gear and into another gear. Pick two...doesn't matter, but for this question lets just use third to forth. And this is ideal shifting....normal shift, clutch is all the way in...everything is correct and perfect....

Ok... You push the clutch in and pull the shift lever out of third and into fourth, but theres this very, very brief pause...kind of a hangup, if you will, that lasts a split second ..in other words its not seamless. It's actually broken down like this.. Shift out of third, pause in neutral, shift to fourth. No matter how fast or hard you shift...that tiny pause is gonna happen.

My question is this... Is there anyway to make this a super smooth or smoother action? Like one quick movement?

OOOOOOORRRRRRR is there something wrong with the car?


Thanks in advance for any responses...
