Low speed grind from 5-speed
I've started grinding 3rd gear at low speeds. By low I mean shifting into third at around 15-20mph. Today it did it with 5th as well, first time.
Shifts fine, engages fine.
Should I be expecting a new transmission soon?
For reference, car made 219rwhp at 12.5psi, it was recently turned up to 14psi.

5 speed + power = problems. just one of these things you have to get used to.
get some atf and fill your trans up, drive it maybe 5 mins or on jack stands leave it in gear idling for 15 mins, you just want to get the gears nice and covered and the atf moving, drain then fill up with amsoil. did that with my 5 speed when i bot my 99 and have not had any problems since and ever is surprised the 5 speed hasn't failed at ~250hp 225ftlb.
also cold oil makes my DD do that in all gears shifting under 2.5-3k
