5sp shift in reverse grinding after 12k+ miles and extreme vibration especially when sitting in netural. Did not occur until after 12k+ miles of ownership (purchased new). Dealer says normal and manufacture refuses to acknowledge although other owners reported same incident.

I have had continual problems with my manual transmission, it continues to lock into 5th gear and also is hard to shift at times. The transmission was replaced at 10,000 miles and new transmission does the same thing. The latest "fix" on it doesn't work either.
