As much as I want to be a die-hard lover of this car, I must admit that the gearbox has been bugging me quite a bit. The first time something stuck out at me was within the first 50 miles when the shifter failed to engage 1st gear. However, allowing the shifter to idle in neutral for a few seconds fixed the issue. This problem happened quiet often (at least once a day since then). Then around a week ago, I noticed an increase in roughness of my gearbox. I figured it might've been a symptom of the transmission fluid warming up to temp. The big issue began yesterday when my gearbox grinded every time I shifted into second or third. The problem has worsened exponentially today. Every single gear grinds 9 out of 10 entries. The gearbox produces a horrible sound and the whole car jerks every time it happens. Additionally, when the gearbox doesn't grind, it would instead produce an unusual effect that feels like the shifter is being sucked in by magnets as it approaches a gear. I'm pretty disappointed and worried about the car. Unfortunately, I'm out of town until next Monday, so no service until then. Anyone else notice a similar issue?

One of us in the AZ chapter had this happen to him and the dealership ordered him a new tranny/clutch/and flywheel. Take to dealership And have a service tech manager look at it and take it out for a spin or two. Shouldn't be any problem getting it warrantied and changed out due to it grinding every shift. Ppl are having the 2nd gear synchro problem but I don't get what your getting
