Possible 4th Gear Issue (Video)

Hey guys. Hoping you can give me some insight as to what is wrong. Dealership keeps saying they cannot reproduce the problem which I have a hard time believing. Whenever I'm in 4th gear, rpm hesitate and sometimes even dips at 3800 rpm. This is in SS mode. In the vid, you'll hear me drop to 4th from 5th. Just listen to the engine and watch my speed not accelerating as fast as it should. The engine actually hesitates before the power kicks back in. Thanks in advance for your replies.

Your 4th gear is suffering from the case of privacy syndrome

Pretty normal. It gets out of vtec for a little bit. Plus the convertor clutch may or may not lock up at full throttle. The dip could easily be the clutch locking up which increases efficiency. Mine does and has done the same thing since brand new although if we could see the video it would help.
