5th gear gate lockout
I boutht a 14 BRZ with 65k miles on it. I think it is the stock shifter. During casual driving, when I shift from 4th to 5th gear (under 3000rpm), sometimes the shifter won't get into the rightmost gate at the first attempt, and it takes me a 2nd try with higher effort to put it into the gate for 5th/6th gear. It happens once every 2-3 drives, and more often when the car is cold. It feels like something got stuck inside the shifter linkage. Any idea on that? Thanks!

Shift lever top plate can only make trouble for first and second. Look elsewhere.

Run 4th to the red light, clutch in, take a sip of your coffee, let them pass you in the straight, go to 6th, press the gas pedal back to full, do NOT let off for the turn, as they back out and slither around like a snake in wet grass... you just slide on by anyway.

Start with a fluid change. I like Redline MT-90.

Make sure gate the gear straight into the pattern. |
From your driving position, you may tend to gate the gear diagonally. / Trans doesn't always like this. |
