So for as long as I've had my Sonic I've always had to "do a little dance" with the shifter to get it into 5th and 6th. I have to move it as far to the left as I can then snap to the right and up or down, respectively. When I first bought it I asked the dealer and was told it's because the gears are close together and it's new. Others have told me it's because it's new and it will loosen with time. Now I'm at about 9000 miles and it's still the same and I can't find anybody else on here with this problem. Planing on taking it in next weekend. Any ideas what would cause this?
This is also the first and only time I've been able to go from 5th to 6th without having to go neutral-left-right-down. I can usually go 6th to 5th. Also, does anybody else get hung up in the reverse notch if they press too hard left going into first? Coming from a Jetta, that took some getting used to...
