Quick tip, at high RPMs, don't hit third by going "up and to the right", try "almost straight forward" and it will go in every time. I added a JHR shifter bracket and never miss third. It didn't really change the feel of the shifter but it does seem to make getting it into the gate more consistent than the stock piece.

That's what I do. I just throw the shifter forward and let the it return to dead center and it usually goes straight into 3rd. Sometimes I just push too fast.

A new shifter is definitely the way to go, but ballin' doesn't come easy for some of us...

Hold everything! I'm sure most of you know this already but I'm certian this is what caused to me stall
Well I noticed the on a downhill if you wana keep from rolling back at a stop light just hold the clutch in with 1st gear and tap the break n let go n that will keep at a stand still untill you let off the clutch or pop out of gear. I'm still finding stuff out don't flame mehh!
and as for the $500 for the shifter...maybe after useful mods haha

The MGW is a useful mod in itself.
As for what you describe, I see you have discovered hill assist. It applies the brakes for 3 seconds when an incline in detected, but unfortunately this is disable when the car is put into sport mode (TC and AdvancTrac is off)

Sorry but after all the tranny and 1-2 shift grinds and warped flywheels in the shelby world, and then all the issues with the MT82 and thread after thread of manual tranny issues and all the parts you have to buy to TRY and make it work right the auto was a no brainer for me. Great for DD and capable of far more than the manual with no mods.
If I get bored and want to shift put it in sport shift and shift it, but a tuned 13 A6 doesn't get boring...and it doesn't miss gears at the track if I go

An auto wasnt an option on mine unfortunately. Track pack = mt82 
I seriously considered an auto with how much power these mustangs can put out... but liked the track pack too much.
