So just this week i have been having problems with the 3rd and 5th gear sticking( have to force it out) its not always but it scares the crap out of me when it does.
does anybody else have this problem don't know if it is because it is cold out.
i do have the cobb double adjustable shifter, hasn't done it before just started this week.
thanks in advance

I have the TWM STS - when cold, even before the TWM install, a little stiff/hesitation going from 1st-2nd - double clutch b/t 1 and 2 and no problem. But never stuck when trying to get OUT of a gear. Did you have the car last winter? If so, no problems stock? May want to check the mechanism (sorry if I'm being Captain Obvious here) :)

I have the same model year and colour MS3 as you and absolutely no shifting issues as you describe. My car shifter is stock though.

i found the problem...the shifting mechanism in the engine bay was hitting a bolt from my fmic pipe.

Good news! Even better that you found this out now as I don't imagine this was doing your car's drivetrain much good...
