Two things will help you greatly:
1. An engine torque brace (Think what you want, know it helped my shifting)
2. New motor mounts. Obviously, this one is quite a bit more expensive and time consuming, but if you have the engine pulled for any reason-do this mod!
I hope that this helps a little.

there was a thread already about this not too long ago. And it seems that most people had a problem with getting it from 1st to 2nd with B&M ss. I have the same problem, but only when the car is cold. It doesn't bother me though.

same problem here. i never realized it would be HARDER to shift with this thing.
Is the engine torque brace the thing that mounts under the hood on the passenger side?

yah a new short throw wont help too much if you are already having problems.
i have this nice B&M and i love the throws, and i also have a FEED engine torque brace, but i had my syncros replaced just a few months ago. maybe if i had the stuff sooner it might have helped save my syncros, but whatever..... i love the throws now atleast!

you could try making sure the stops are set correctly. The B&M in my C5 had to be adjusted a bit.
I can't remember if the spring tension can be adjusted on them for the side to side movement.
I was actually thinking about making my own shifter to lock out 1 and 5 unless you have a handle pulled. That way you can't miss third even if you want to.
that's my only complaint about the stock shifter.
