Smoke coming inside from by gear box in to cabinet

Well, I was driving one day, and it was sunny and nice outside. So I decided to do some pulls, went down to 3rd gear at around 60-65 mph and went all the way up to 5th. As I got in to 5th, I felt the gears kind of kick back at me and I was like wtf so I skipped 5th gear and just went in to 6th. And then a thin smoke came out from my gear box in to the cabinet and it didn't smell like clutch or anything I have ever smelled before. Anyways, the smoke disappeared after I opened the window. I have to kind of raise my rpm a little bit higher than it needs to for me to easily go in to 5th gear or else it feels like I put more pressure in to than I need to. All my gears work fine except for 5th. I assumed it was my syncrhos but my babe only has 6000 miles on it. I went in to the dealership but they told me nothing looked like it was worn out or anything like that.
I did do a transmission oil change at the first 4000 miles on it so I know I don't have any metal shavings since its a new car.
Anyone else experienced the same thing or know what this might be?
