2005 Boxster Gear Grind

hello all:


I've got a dilemma with my Porsche dealer. I would like for them to fix my transmission and they are giving me a hard time. I purchased a 2005 Boxster with 20,000 miles on it, and every time that I shift from 2nd to 4th gear as the car is approaching it's redline the car's transmission makes a grinding sound as if the synchro is not up to the task. If I shift from 2nd to 3rd and the to 4th there is no problem. Also, if the car is below 5000 RPM and not near redline the 2nd to 4th gear happens without that grinding. I'm of the opinion that something is wrong with this synchro and I would like to get it fixed under the factory warranty. They tell me the car is designed to go from 1 to 2 to 3 to 4 to 5. I disagree. What are your thoughts? Thanks so much.
