I've seen very little information on this, so I'm posting a question to see if someone has experience with it and how the problem might be solved.

About 2-3 thousand miles ago, I started noticing a very slight "grind" when shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear when revving above 2500rpm. It was so hardly noticeable, that I didn't give it much thought--I assumed that maybe I got a little sloppy and was letting off the clutch a little too soon. I started slowing my throws after depressing the clutch when going from 2nd to 3rd, just to be safe. But recently, it has become more noticeable to me. I made a conscious effort to fully depress the clutch and add a little delay before shifting. But I'm still getting the grind consistently AND it's noticeable, anytime I'm going from 2nd to 3rd when revving above 2500rpm.

This is incredibly annoying (and unacceptable), having to let the engine RPM drop below 2500 to shift without a grind. So, now that this is reliably reproducible, I think I can bring this to the dealer to sort out.

Questions: Is this something that will require a simple clutch shift cable adjustment, or is it indicative of a failing syncro that will require a transmission replacement? I'm at 28k miles and less than a year to go on my warranty,...

Thanks in advance for any advice, suggestions.
