How exactly do you get the grind? I have less than 1000 vin bought at release (June 2012), don't seem to have this problem although I admit since 5th is a relatively high speed i don't have much experience with it.

I generally shift to 5th accelerating at 33mph and then to 6th at 45+

I downshift to 5th if im coasting down to a traffic area and reach between 33 and 45 mph while in 6th.

The only time I actually shift into 5th at speed is if I max out 4th gear at full throttle. Not often but from memory I don't have any grinding. I'll have to check in the next few days, and either way I doubt subaru would warranty that if I said it grinds at 7k shifting 4th to 5th lol
