Bill.
I have had the same problem with my car since inception, at about the same RPM range as you, I was told the quick shift is the problem and told pretty much the same as you .....fingertip the shift, that is hard to do when every other gear lets me bang it right into gear. I tried the fingertip (so to speak) shift and it works. All I really do now is shift more carefully, if that makes sense. I just let the shifter do the work and dont push it towards fifth at all, actually have to purposely guide it to the left. As stupid as this sounds it has helped.

I know alot of folks witht he same prob even after the blueprint process. I am not real happy with having to shift it this way but I dont race enough to be bugged that much.

One last suggestion to me is to use Ultra shift or maybe it is slick shift available at performanceunlimited.com. I have yet to try this but I think I will give it a go. My 2 cents RYan
