Default 3-Pedal Shifting issue

13 year old 991, bought new. 30+ years experience with 3-pedals.

When driving fairly aggressively (for the street), from 2nd to 3rd, I sometimes hit a wall between 1st and 3rd. I then have to try again and immediately get into 3rd.

What's going on here?

use three fingers and see if it persists. my guess is you're preloading it laterally too much, too soon, and it's getting bound up on something.

Does it shift smooth with the car off? If so, maybe the clutch line needs to be bled
