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.
What you describe is the EXACT same problem I had with my 6mt. I took it to the dealership and they replaced my trany under warranty without question. great dealership i have

the new tranny feels different than the origional stock one though... feels less tight when shifting between 5 and 6 back and forth IMO.
