I've just had to send mine in to the shop for that very similar problem, only mine also does so with 6th.

Dealership concluded I have a blown syncro on 6th gear.. So I'd suggest you check that out probably

Can't say I know, though a senior member can probably give you a better diagnose/suggestion.

Mine is brand spankin new, so taking it to a dealership and get them to check it out was a no brainer.

Yours should still be under warranty though, and I doubt a check-up/diagnostic should cost you a pretty penny (but you never know)
