18k miles 6mt touring/sport pkg, only when shifting from 6th to 5th i'll get a small grind but the gear goes in without a problem. Yes the clutch is pressed in all the way and it seems to only do it once each time i drive and after (on the 2nd, 3rd etc) time when downshifting from 6-5 it's without the grind.

It is not a big grind just a little one...is this normal'ish? I really don't want to go to the dealer and try to replicate it and wait on a day off all day in their waiting room if its nothing to bother myself with.

p.s. its only on the downshift between these two gears never on a upshift.
