The 5th gear grind is the most commonly reported transmission issue for the 6MT. The people on this forum that have reported it have been all over the spectrum, so I don't think it is a typical abuse related failure although there may be a certain driving habit that exposes it (e.g. skip shift placing extra burden on an already weak synchro). The later is just hypothetical conjecture, I haven't surveyed the owners to establish any pattern, was just using it as an example
