Still grinding going from any lower gear (2/3) to a higher gear (5/6). Going up the tree has no issues, just skipping 2 gears rapidly causes a harsh grind on the transmission (guessing syncros, but I'm not a professional). Grrrr... at 30300 miles now, expected to be over 36K in ~3 months. Didn't get a Juke, got a rental Sentra as the courtesy cars were all out.

A lot of transmissions have problems with gear skipping... I kind of feel like it's normal, so if I skip a gear, I just put it into the interim gears on the way up, without actually letting out the clutch.. know what I mean?
So for a 2 to 5 shift...
Clutch in
Shifter to 3rd, shifter to 4th shifter to 5th
clutch out
That said, hopefully they can get it working like you want it to!
Edit: Here's a tip, give the transmission's input shaft longer to spin down before trying to put it into the higher gear. That'll take the strain off of the synchros.
