Same issue here. I found if I hold the clutch in just a second longer before making the shift, I do not get the grind.

Hmmmm, sometimes I try to shift without the clutch, and 4-5 is usually not happy. I don't try that one anymore.

Has this been an issue for you? Seems a bit strange that 5th gear syncro is bad?

I get the grind from 4th -> 5th and I am not shifting that quickly, but if I slow it down (2-4 seconds) no problem. Took it and the dealership said they could reproduce the issue, but I can every time.

you running stock or with a lift? Sounds like the dealer doesn't want to do the warrenty work.
