I'll explain a bit more about when I started having the problem:
Well, I used to WOT from 2nd to 3rd (and also 4th to 5th - same motion) very fast... with almost NO DENYS... I would go all the time. about 6 months ago @ around 25'000, I started noticing that my 2nd to 3rd WOT success rate came to about 70% of the time, it got to about 50% of the time when I was going from 2nd to 4rd when my FIRST Shift Selector broke, the car stayed in Natural, to the dealer, fixed (replaced) and good to go. about 1 month after the new assembly was in (I had started not to WOT too much but my success rate when I DID WOT had come down to even worse... 30-40% rate)... and it happened again... dealer fixed and here is when it gets exciting. Right when I got the car back from the dealer I noticed FOR THE FIRST TIME, the car started popping out of 3rd gear... wow, that's new. I knew the dealer (supposedly) tore the tranny apart for other pieces of broke selector and found nothinng but yeah, it start popping out of 4rd in UPSHIFTS and on downshift I could get it to downshift AND STAY in gear only 10% of the time. Called the dealer the same night, took it down there 2 weeks later, they have ordered new 3rd synchro, selectors, forks, ... that just came in TODAY (yeah, 1+ month wait time). I'll be taking the car there after new years and will post here of what happens when they change them.
