I did transf fluid swap about 15k miles ago with redline and hadnt had issues until today. Does anyone know if replacing trans fluid gets rid of this? Ive read that some people had synchros gone bad and others had transmissions replaced

When this happened to me, it was the 4th & 5th gear syncrho. Luckily, I was still under warranty so, they installed a brand new trans. Good luck.

Yeah, bad synchros is a known issue. Your extended warranty is about to save you $4k+

Have them order the trans and bring it in when it arrives.
I had mine back in a couple days.
