Some info regarding the MT problems, which I stole from a post on IC:



My 2nd gear has the common downshift grind, but it doesn't happen if I double clutch, and I always double clutch. My ISB is fine, and I'm at about 210k right now.
350,000 miles on the Tronsight, have downshift grind, but no ISB problems.
