Default Unable to grab 4th at WOT - M6

I went to the track last night and i was having trouble getting into 4th gear at WOT. It would go in but the car would shake violently when it went in. I bought a used shifter for it and i think the bushing is a bit loose, could the shifter be the cause of this? At any other time the car shifts perfect, its just at WOT. A month ago when i went to the track the same thing happened on 2 of the 5 runs i had. Thanks

Do you still have the stock shifter? Swap it back in and see if you still have the problem.

Yeah, it's such an easy swap, there's really no reason to try anything else until you've eliminated that.

I have this same exact problem with the pro 5.0. At WOT it grinds bad going into 4th sometimes does not go in at all. If you figured out how to fix it please let me know thanks.
