2019 Subaru WRX STi - 3rd Gear Issues

[Penguin]

I just bought a 2019 STI.

When I take her to the track, third gear does not want to go in at all.

When I drive normally 3rd engages without a problem.

I put the short-throw shifter on but haven't had a chance to put the Cobb bushings on yet since the devil pin took forever.

Does anyone experience this too?

Are you sure you're just not missing the shifts with the high RPMs?

Thank you,

Yes, I am sure. I've raced sticks all my life. I've had someone else race her just to be sure and experienced the same thing. I had 6 runs this last time and everytime it was just 3rd that wouldn't go in.

So "track" here is a drag strip?

But it wont misbehave in a WOT run up in 2nd on the street?

I won't go WOT on the street, she's a cop magnet. I don't have a problem with any gear except 3rd and only when using WOT. I just put the bushings in yesterday and haven't tested her yet. She just had too much slop in shifting.

Are you flat-foot shifting?

No, I am not flat foot shifting.
