Thread: no 4th gear a WOT please help

You don't want it to shift into 4th unless you have a built trans or you won't have 4th gear anymore after that.

Why would you ever need to go that fast anyway?

It might be your tune. If i remember correctly ZZP has it so your car doesn't go into 4th at WOT so you won't kill your 4th gear.

All I can say is, LOL.

Do you have a scan with it doing this? If so.. look at commanded or current gear. See if it's telling the trans to shift or not. Then take a look at your shift tables to ensure nothing got swapped up in there.

Maybe that's the problem

Please try and stay on topic guys. There's no need for a beatdown etc.

I've done many WOT runs and it's the judgement of the guy doing it as to why. If the motor blows, it's his responsibility, if something else happens...it's his. We won't necessarily agree, but there's no need to sidetrack the topic.

4th gear is a non hardened shaft and strips out quite easily that's why you shouldn't go wot to 4th and because its dangerous to go that fast.

95mph and shift into 4th... I'm game.

Back on track, like Bill said. It could be issues in your tune.

what mph are you running? shift into 2nd should be around 50, shift into 3rd should be around 95, and shift into 4th I don't know because i've never done it. It's dangerous because if your shift into 4th at wot you'll be over 130 and chances are your tires are rated for it.

the remedy is a another trans, i just lost 3 rd gear all together last month. used trans swap or a rebuild.
