I can guarantee that if you "just slam it forward" into 3rd with the Tremec shifter you will end up in 5th every time. That is NOT the correct way to shift a T56 Magnum. I learned that your shifts are much more positive if you shift with your finger tips.

The stock Tremec shifter has a centering spring but it will not lock out 5th when shifting to 3rd. Personally, I am holding out for the S1 sequential shifter.
