What can I do???

I was looking at the Comptec short shift kit to hope and remedy the problem, but I am affraid it will actually enhance the problem too.

Suggestions gladly accepted!

that's not normal

Unfortunatley this is a very common issue. I have heard from probably a 100 other 8th gen owners, including myself, that have had this same problem.

I took my car in to the dealer about 3 months ago and all they did was replace the trans fluid with the "newer formula". I still have recurring trouble with 3rd gear though.

You might try taking it in to the dealer, especially before you decide to put on a SS kit.
