So like so many others on this board my manual transmission is not exactly a smooth shifter and its because of the syncros.


It has always shifted little notched 1st to 2nd especially when cold.


What has gotten worse and is now a consistent and repeatable problem is the shift from 4th to 5th. There is now a guaranteed grind when going from 4th to 5th.


The catch is the grind only happens when shifting at high speeds and rpms.
If I shift when the engine is spun up to over 5000 rpm from acceleration (this meas I'm going 100+ mph, please no lecture about safety I know its not safe on public roads) there is a guaranteed grind. Its actually getting worse vs a few months ago.


My question is will the dealer warranty this? I'm wondering because they wont get the issue to appear unless they drive the car above the legal limits. I am not sure if they will deny it since that classifies me as driving the car unsafe or something


Opinions? Should I take it in?
