Default Transmission grinding into 6th

I accelerate through 1st and 2nd reasonably shifting at about 4K RPMs and then put it into 6th to cruize and get a hard grind. I can feel it very well in the shifter and when i have the windows down i can hear it coming from inside and outside of the car.

Any help would be great. Im taking it into the dealership this weekend but they're probably going to blame it on me (gotta love the service departments).

Your shifting method is totally off. I could understand shift to 4th...but 6th??

The shifting method doesn't have to do with it. It does it from 3rd too but if im going above 33mph the owners manual says its fine to shift into 6th.

I use to do the 3 and 4 to 6th no problem, recently started grinding every time I try it. Now I just make sure to go to 5th then 6th.

Just got the grinding fixed under warranty. Too bad the loner cars tires wern't. Well $500 down the drain .......
Was it fun, yes. Was it worth it, hell no.
