Syncro Issue - Odds of replacement?

Hi everyone,

I have been having an issue like some in the tech forum going from 4th -> 5th over 5k rpm.

I have replaced the trans fluid twice, OEM - > Motul -> Torco and yet no changes in the "grind" I feel. While I don't need to force the gear, it ends up going in after RPM drop.

I have zero issues in any other gear up or down shifting. Never missed a gear, and never over-rev'ed during a down shift, a few close money shifts in 2nd/3rd but thats it.

What should I tell the dealer, what dealer should I go to? I am in Claremont so Claremont Toyota is 2 min away, but I don't know if they are "tuner" friendly.

My main concern is that they are going to say I am modified and that caused the issue, visually its just rims/tires, (the rest of my mods are in my sig) However I have zero clutch issues, no TOB issues, and the problem only exists on 4th->5th, so unless I am doing mad freeway pulls with some crazy power I cannot see how they can take the stance of abuse.

Here is the thread I have been following - http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=120513


Thanks!
