Very interesting. Mine did too, but have since gotten smoother after i switched clutches. What is this about realigning the shift gates??

I also have noticed that my car has a problem with shifting into second from first gear when redlining. NewYorkJon34 lives near me in Naples, and he has the same problem too. We have concluded that we have to give the car a second to settle itself, with the clutch engaged, to get it to shift into second. I have also noticed that trying to shift too fast makes the gear grind, it's not that I am shifting improperly but sometimes I have to almost granny shift it. This problem seems to get better, not fixed, with SyncroRev off. At first, I thought maybe I was just bad at shifting in general, but my father recently bought a Z06 which I can shift perfectly at redline in all gears (don't tell him that =p). So the only thing it must be is the tranny in our car.

Hey man, I have the same exact whine in all gears, only while accelerating. Have you pinpointed where it is coming from?? You are still stockish right? Take it to the dealer and see what they tell you, it may be a simple fix. Also, out of curiosity, are your rear axles clicking?
My car rarely lurches anymore since I changed my clutch and things have become way way more livable. I know what you're saying about the shifting too fast too...its like it doesnt want to let you get into gear until the engine speed has been reduced a bit. You can muscle it in there, but it feels like you're forcing something...
We all have the same stupid problem and I have a feeling the whining we are hearing might be a side effect of the shifting issues. Maybe the great SRM system isn't so great after all and is actually causing issues in the long run...I'm going to swing by the dealer and ask a tech about it. God forbid someone who works on these cars all day everyday might know something about the issue...
I too am very very tired of this transmission, it literally ruined the car for me.
