Hello fellow M2 owners. I recently installed a CAE shifter to my 21 M2C. It was installed by a local shop. Since install I've noticed whenever I am in 4th gear, and apply throttle, the shift lever moves slightly forward and vibrates. I don't know if I can explain this correctly. It just wants to move forward (towards neutral) when I am on gas, only slight, not enough force to pop out of gear. Only in 4th gear, any other gears are solid, does not move at all, and no vibration.

I got the car back to the shop, thought it was misalignment. They took it apart, but it back in twice. They couldn't find out what the issue was. They told me that this is probably natural, because the transmission tilts forward slightly when you give it gas, and 4th gear is directly behind the transmission so it will move with it.

I don't know much about mechanics, just want to see if anyone has a similar issue, or can confirm if this is normal.
