Default Grinding and Lollygagging

Mine is a base model - no SRM. The grinding is not the same in the new transmission; the first one crunched when upshifting to 5, from a lower gear (3 or 4) - the new gearbox grinds - much less frequently - only when shifting down from 6 to 5. Both issues, however, seem to be related to 5th gear.

The grind happens at about 4,000 RPM I'd guess, less at slow RPMs - goes into gear much easier when "lollygagging."

I have to say honestly that I do know how to shift a manual transmission - been doing that for over 40 years, in a dozen or so cars. This is the first time I've ever noticed behavior like that in a new vehicle.
