Transmission is making a grinding noise between 1st and 2nd gear. My wife and I asked the dealer we bought it from, if they could look at it. (17,000 mi, still under warranty). They said it was nothing and wouldn't do anything. However, we ran into the previous owner, and he said the dealer gave him a 5 year or 60,000 mi warranty just on the transmission. And still with the warranty no one will do anything.
When the manual transmission was shifted from second gear to third gear it made a rattling noise. The dealer changed the transmission but the noise was still present.
