No way. Mine ground the very first time I shifted quickly - 99% of the time it's a daily driver - Houston traffic. I can't imaging that's abuse; I could shift my old Toyota Tercel faster than I did this car.

My new transmission has about 10,000 miles on it, and I've never had occasion to shift quickly since replacing - BUT, it's now starting to grind again, but this time ONLY when I downshift from 6 to 5. I depress clutch fully, and shift normally - little grind.

The original problem (upshift from 3 to 5) works fine now. Strange.
