Default Gear Change Problem
Well back in to the dealer we go. Now, with the clutch floored it is hard to get into gear and sometimes it grinds. I will have them look at it tuesday and let you all know. It's under warrenty so no worries.

Funny eh...

They both are beginning to stink in my opinion.. However I think this can be fixed pretty quickly.

Check the clutch fluid level?

Bleed the clutch system?

Be warned that the clutch is a Normal Wear Item. Get a second opinion from an independent mechanic before letting them sell you a new clutch.

I dont think it's the clutch.. Honestly I think it's the syncros.

Well I took it into the dealer and they said there is nothing wrong!? WTF!?

There is something wrong so it's going back in and it will keep going back in until it;s fixed!

Those buttheads. Well, you know the story - the computer didn't have any codes... [xx(]
Linkage loosen up, maybe?
Ask to speak to service manager, and then dealership owner.
