6th into 5th gear grind
Anyone else develop a downshift grind? Mine grinds bad from 6th to 5th 90% of the time. 67K miles on an 03 touring 6speed. I do have the 100K warrenty, looking into taking it in.

^^^^^^^ Agreed.... Same thing happened to me when my tranny went bad. Just take it in to a dealer and have a new one put in. You might want to consider puting some money out for the new 06 tanny since your getting a new one.

Is there a VIN# series that has this problem? My car is grinding into 3rd and 5th. I am the second owner of this car, so I do not know if it is a problem that has been dealt with before.

Yeah, mine grinds as well (03 base).. like you, ONLY on downshift from 6th to 5th. Instead of paying for a new tranny, I'm just double clutching before switching. I haven't had problem since.
But I don't know the long term effect of doing this? What do you guys think?

Car is at Dealership today for eval. They say $50 deductable if it's covered under 100K drive train warrenty. $2000+ if not. They don't know if it's covered yet. I'll know more this afternoon.
