4th gear synchro grind when downshifting from 3rd.
I've posts about a few other people with '04s that have this issue. I have 41k miles. My warranty is up March 28th, so I have a few weeks left to get this fixed.
The problem is that it is not always reproducible, especially not when I have the shop techs look at it. It only grinds sometimes, and usually only in the high rpms.
Suggestions?
