The issue with the shifter and GTL is that GTL only recognises the
first 16 buttons on a game controller, I've tested and this is the
case.

There are a lot of buttons on this new wheel, 4 on the wheel and 12 on
the shifter plus the shifter itself,  and the shifter buttons must be
numbered higher than 16.

There is a work around that should work.  Instead of joystick buttons,
you can assign keystrokes to the individual gears in GTL.  Then you
can assign these keystrokes to the shifter positions with the Logitech
profiler.  I've tested this theory with my DFP and it works.
