Default 6 spd: Difficulty getting into 3rd?

I notice sporadically that when I shift into 3rd, I get a resistance as if something is still spinning and the clutch isn't fully engaged (which it is). I'm not speed-shifting or even in high-rpm mode. And the car only has 600 miles. What gives? No probs trying to get into 1st or 2nd yet.

Hmmm. Well take it in to the dealer. Based on what everyone is saying here, the syncros suk ***. I occasionally have that issue as well and am waiting to see if it develops as we got a 50K bumper to bumper warrenty.

Just drive your car some more. It's not even close to broken in yet.
