I have a '09 Sports w/ the 6 speed and have not had an issue w/ grinding in the 16,xxx miles I've put on the car. It is a little stiff going into 2nd when cold, but fine when warmed up. I don't baby the car, but I do try to be positive w/ my shifts and be kind to the trans. Not saying you aren't, just that some folks abuse their transmissions and then wonder why the synchros are shot. Some have reported grinding in 5th and 6th (especially at high speed-5th to 6th). The ones w/ the grind had their transmissions replaced under warranty. Time to go the dealer. Good luck.
