01 Boxster Base: Grinds on 3rd gear shift over 5K RPM

[Ericwalsh1982]

Hi all, I'm new to the forum, just picked up a great deal. '01 Boxster base with 39,000 miles in super mint condition. I had a Service Consultant at my local Porsche dealer drive the car and he thought everything seemed great.

All the shifts are super smooth, EXCEPT when shifting up from 2nd to 3rd gear over 5000 RPM, it seems to catch and grind each time. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong shifting my new toy or if there could be something more serious.

Any ideas, comments or experiences would be welcomed. Thanks in advance...
