6th gear is gone.

6th gear is gone.
Anyone else ever have 6th gear completely go out on them? It just won't go in (no pun intended)!
If I double clutch and/or rev match it from 5th or any other gear it gives me the nastiest grind![Frown](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/frown.gif)
Taking it into the dealer sometime soon. Any thoughts?

it's the only gear giving you problem?
probably a synchro issue.
Car under warranty still?
and to answer your question: Nope, never had a gear go completely out on my RX8. My last transmission grinded like hell into 2nd and 5th at high RPM's (obviously 5th was harder to replicate) but if I granny shifted, it would engage the gear without grinding.

I assume you got it replaced? Did they take it apart and rebuild it or gave you a new transmission?
1st is a bit wonky to get into at times, like I have to force it in. And 4th won't go in over 7,500 rpm without grinding. And 6th won't go in even with the car off...![Frown](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/frown.gif)
Car still has powertrain warranty, 5yr/60k
