So our 2018 started having intermittent issues engaging second gear as early at ~800 miles. The vehicle is at roughly 5000 miles now, and since we were pulling the transmission anyways to install an OSGiken LSD, we decided to take a closer look at what was going on.
The magnet was surprisingly filthy for 5000 miles, and there was a decent amount of brass glitter hanging out down by the oil pump.
But the synchros looked very good.
It seems the slider is the real culprit here, the majority of the teeth where chewed right up. Perhaps there is a bad tolerance or quality control issues on the slider that is the root cause of many of the reported issues. Who else has taken apart and verified the cause of their issue? Forgive me for not reading through all 100 pages
