2009 E92 AWD 6M Man Trans problem?

motojoeN54 · 11-20-2008, 04:31 PM

Just wondering if anyone else is having the experience of a grabbing/grinding catch when up-or down-shifting into 2nd gear? It occurs at any revs, at any speed, with the clutch fully depressed. Is this common in these cars? Is it something that improves (smooths out) over time? Is this a mechanical problem with a brand new '09? Anyone out there able to give me some input to help determine the severity of this problem? Thanks in advance.
