Transmission shifting problems

Well I make it a point to push the clutch to the floor. Also, I can shift into 6th from 2nd at 20 MPH and get the same result. I can reproduce my problem at any RPM and any speed. When I showed the tech I pushed the clutch so both of us heard the thud (from it hitting the floor). Like I said user error was ruled out, and many other people (including on this site) have had the same problem. The only way I found to stop the grinding into 6th was to double clutch and baby it in, but even then it is not always a clean shift. It is hard to prove that it is not user error without showing the problem in person lol. Like I said though, as soon as I get my new transmission in I will let you guys know if it has any problems.
