I had a fifth gear syncro problem. From the first day I had the car the gears would grind everytime I shifted to fifth. I had the dealer check it out at my first oil change. He agreed it had a problem and he would get in touch with Toyota. He also told me not to baby the car, just drive it normally. I ended up just skipping fifth gear because the grind would drive me crazy.
About a month later I get a call from the dealer saying that
Toyota has agreed to give me a NEW transmission.
Brought it into the shop and three days later I had a new transmission. I've had the new one for about a year and it works flawlessly. Much better than the original.
I see so many people on this forum bitching about grinding gears and hoping it will go away, but it won't. It will just get worse.
Your car comes with a warranty. Use it. Demand they fix it. You paid damn good money for a new car. It should be perfect.
