You can be upset all you want the problem is there's nothing that they can do to rectify this issue other than installing a new trans that will do the same thing eventually. I've said it numerous times, the synchro design is one of the worst I've ever seen and Aisin needs to revamp it and they need to warranty these pos boxes. I can't understand why they changed it from the s2k/rx8/j160 trannies they say this box is based off of.
