My 5th can be notchy on upshifts, but not like 3rd. My 3rd feels like I'm squarely nicking something metal on the way in. Doesn't happen all the time though, maybe 1x/day. No issues when driving hard, just when puttering around town under 4000 rpm.

I suppose it could be my shifting, but never really had these issues with other manuals I've owned.
