NASIOC - View Single Post - 12 STI - Tough to grab 2nd when launching into a turn

I have no issues either as long as I am shifting normally, OP states on #1 "more or less launching" this is when problem arises, high rpm quick launch, the mount grabs the shifter rod tightly causing 2nd gear to bind. During normal shifting the shifter rod slides/pivots in the mount cavity without a problem as it is easier to overcome friction during a slow controlled shift.

I will try to backup this info with video.
