Got the car back. Unfortunately, there's no satisfying conclusion here. They basically said bring it back when it happens again. I can't blame them for not tearing down a transmission that appears to be working on a new car lol. Will update when/if it happens again
It's just one very vocal yet barely literate attention seeker haha. Most people have been pretty nice. Anyway, the car is at the dealer, so I'll update once I get it back. I doubt they'll do anything, but at least I have the complaint on record.
This only grinded the one time, so hopefully it doesn't end up like that haha.
And yeah, it is what it is. As long as it doesn't happen again or they take care of it, I can't be mad. I did find a couple examples of FK8 owners having something sorta similar, but I'm too lazy to go find it again
Well, I have an interesting update. I just got back and decided to try something I thought of... I downshifted without the clutch from 2 to 1 at around 10 mph and it grinded its way in. Now it works perfectly fine altogether... Not a damn clue how that works lol. Still gonna take it to the...
I appreciate you trying to help, but that is literally addressed in the second sentence of the first post, and many other details have been shared in this thread as well.
