I had one tech blame it on shifting from 4th to 6th since it was more prevalent in that situation, but it shouldn't grind regardless. I pushed the issue with someone that actually could make decisions and it was handled. Took about a week.

I had the exact same problem. Two dealers refused to warranty my transmission because they said that I caused it by skipping from 4th to 6th. I have been driving manual transmission cars for over 20 years and have always shifted the same way. The third dealer I went to replaced it no problem.
This seems to be a problem that is popping up more and more. I now have a issue with the new trans. 2nd to 3rd grinds at low rpm. I hope this isn't a problem that I have to deal with for the life of the car.
