Grinding gearbox, Toyota Sweden do not want to listen :(

Hi there, having problems with my gearbox.
it all started when the car was brand new and I drove it out of the car dealer, the first mile, I had syncro scrapings, between first and second and second to third.
so in other words it has grinde the 2 and 3 gear from the first mile, the worst is when the car is cold and no matter how long I wait between gears.
Thought it might get better after the run in period but NO!!!
Have had it too the Toyota dealer, and they switched to a thinner oil
Both me and they knew that it would only get worse by the oil change.
But Toyota Sweden said that they were the right thing to do, so they changed the oil, and now I have been driving 4349miles, and of course, it have become WORSE!!
Have contacted them again about the problem, and guess what they want to do, change the oil a second time when Toyota Sweden's head office claims that they are no solution to the problem
would be incredibly grateful if some of you wanted to post or e-mail your receipts on the job, ho hawe had your gearbox changed.

so I have something to show that they Actually replacing transmissions, on the other side of the Atlantic
