Does the shifter feel sloppy in neutral and other gears?
These cars can just be a little finicky. My car occasionally likes to spit 3rd out on a redline shift, but it hasn't really happened lately. Honestly it might just take a little getting used to shifting quickly in the car. You still have to guide it into gear, you can't just throw it.
If it feels notchy in all gears change the fluid before you do anything else, it makes a huge difference.
