Has anybody with a 6 speed 370 experienced this? Mine started grinding 2 days ago about 75% of the time I put it in 6th gear? The car has 3k

No grinding
I have a '09 Sports w/ the 6 speed and have not had an issue w/ grinding in the 16,xxx miles I've put on the car. It is a little stiff going into 2nd when cold, but fine when warmed up. I don't baby the car, but I do try to be positive w/ my shifts and be kind to the trans. Not saying you aren't, just that some folks abuse their transmissions and then wonder why the synchros are shot. Some have reported grinding in 5th and 6th (especially at high speed-5th to 6th). The ones w/ the grind had their transmissions replaced under warranty. Time to go the dealer. Good luck.

It only grinds in 5th, I think if it were a clutch issue it would do it in more than that one gear. I'm gonna drive it a little longer bc I'm gonna look like a retard if I get to the dealer and it doesn't grind but like once of twice if at all.

Ouch. Sounds like what I went through just recently. Here's my thread: Notchy 3rd and 5th Gears Manual Transmission. I hope this will help you.

My 6th gear synchro was failing and I had the whole transmission replaced under warranty. This is most likely your problem, they should take care of it for you.
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.

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.
