I am using 6 x 3750G stacks in a distribution layer.
I connect 24 other 2 x 3750G switch stacks to the distro with 4GB Etherchannel trunks.
For almost every 4GB bundle I cannot get the 4th link to maintain 1G speed and it goes down to 100meg causing a compatibility problem with the etherchanel.
I am guessing that this is a Asic bug or hardware limitation?
Can anyone advise? SHould I contact Cisco TAC?

Could be hardware since you have a pattern of every 4th link. Contact cisco TAC if this is affecting business performance.

Can you post your config of your channel and channel interfaces?? you can use this page to check your cross stack channel config. You should be able to do 8 ports in a channel.

As you see I had to shutdown almost all of the 4th ports as they dont allow to stay 1GB and go to 100M.
My EC configs look like this.
interface GigabitEthernet5/0/1
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode trunk
switchport nonegotiate
shutdown
channel-group 5 mode on
end
interface GigabitEthernet5/0/2
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode trunk
switchport nonegotiate
channel-group 5 mode on
end
if I unshut the Downed ports, they go into suspended mode. The connecting switches have exact configs.
