Do you have a forward or reverse pattern VB? If you have a reverse pattern and you are going from 1st to 3rd something in your shifter is broken or missing. It's impossible to go from first to third in one shift with a RPVB. It hits the detent and locks. (unless you are holding the button down...... when shifting from first to 2nd which is a no-no. )
Decent shifter but won't fit in the factory console. The PPP wil.
