5th gear "crunching" with shift

Expect a bit of a challenge from the dealer.. you'll most likely need to get a tech in the car and be able to duplicate the issue before they will look to resolving it, which generally means throwing a new transmission at it.

It's pretty common now for folks to walk in saying they have seen a forum thread and this is what it is.. dealers can shy away from that. But if you're cool and get someone who cares, and show them the problem, it should be a warranty item they have no problem with. Wouldn't take them long to check things out and see how common this is.

They don't go in and fix the synchros or do anything besides just replace the transmission.
