Welcome to the forum Mike.

First off what are some of the symptoms you are experiencing?
Have you now gone back to a stock set up?
Are the gears grinding?
Are the shifts rough?
What RPM are you shifting at? (although this should not influence much)
How are the shifts into other gears?
Can you downshift from 3rd gear smoothly?
Is the clutch's action smooth?

let us know.

I have an 09 r/t, manual, skip shift eliminator and have the same issue. Thought maybe I wasn't depressing clutch all the way. Nope. About the only thing that seems to work is to let rpm's fall to almost idle.

Gears don't grind per se but it's just not a smooth shift.

My bad. Didn't notice this is your first post, Mike. Welcome to the forum.

The 6 speeds all seem to "grind" a little when cold when shifting from first to second and then to third when relatively new.
My car now has about 6500 miles and still does it a litte, but once warmed up gets smoother.
A few members with a lot more miles have reported that as time & miles add up things just get better.
Bottom line: Have fun & just get out there and drive.

I shift 1-3 a few miles until the transmission warms up a little. Doesn't take that long.

I have experience the same problem from shifting from 1st to 2nd gear. Plan to ask service dealer about this issue

Have the Dealer's tech remove the shifter and look into the trans at the 2nd Gear Synchro as this was a common problem on GT500s w/the 6speeds in 2008-10. Dodge uses the same trans.

try replacing the fluid, but most likely the sincro will need to be replaced.
Done a few already, and mine has the problem once in a while also, just havent gotton around to it.

Same problem, they told more I was shifting early. Lol.

Its the skip shift, i think its something to do with emission or mpg. i bought a skip shift eliminator from ebay easy to installed, less than 10 min. never had problem again.
