Well the thing is this is exactly how the semi-working gears behaved in the old transmission. Who knows maybe they told me they replaced the trans and lied to me. That's totally possible as well, but I'd like to think that's not the case, but even in that worst case scenario where they just repaired the 4th gear synchros, they're still behaving just like the 2nd and 3rd and 5th and so on.
I have no issue with loud and obnoxious transmissions, it's just that I think this is what is leading to the synchro damage. After all, if it grinds every gear change it's only a matter of time until they're worn out, and compared to the silky smooth that my old beater honda had after years of abuse I'm inclined to think that that 'matter of time' is going to be markedly short.
