3rd Gear grind

[2o6]

Don't mean to be a super bump, but I have the same issue with 3rd.....

Well looks like evryone on here is experiencing the same thing as me, downshift from 3rd to 2nd gear, and unless I am under 40KM/h the gear will grind, meaning to me it's a synchro. Only problem is at 70K I had this problem last year and under powertrain warranty the synchro was replaced. Fast forward to this year and 13 months after the repair the very same issue is happening, and after speaking with the dealer and Toyota Canada because my PT warranty has expired, I do still have ECP warranty....however I got 2 calls today from Toyota, one saying that they would do a ONE time shot and waive the fee to have the dealer rip apart the transmisson, but an hour ago Toyota called back and NOW they won't honour that whatsoever and will only waive the fee if they cam prove that I didn't cause the issue as they claim that a synchro is wear and tear...I'm not happy at all with how Toyota is handling this, and may consider taking this up a notch. Any thoughts on this? I would appreciate that. Thanks.

omg, I see that now. I have the same problem after putting in a Mobil1 75W-90 gear oil. It started to grinding and very difficult shifting.
