Whats strange is that i didn't notice any grind prior to these mods and only put these on due to the side to side play that this gearbox has. Has anyone had any experience with it? I've got the 2015 GT86 btw. It only happens when im shifting really fast and driving aggressively also eg. heel toe and rev match 5th to 4th to overtake then getting back into 5th. All other gears are perfectly smooth, only getting into 5th from 4th.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
WELCOME to posting to the forum, Hugo ........

Welp, IMHO you have "messed" with the transmission quite a bit ...... and now you are slamming it around ....... and wonder why it's not working too good ... ??

Like mentioned above, I'd suggest you take all that crap off of it and shift normal and see if that doesn't help .....
