Grinding Gears in the New Allroad

[Alexander van Gerbig]

    Well through the grapevine I have found out that my mum's new Allroad is
experiencing grinding while downshifting into 3rd and 2nd.  She obviously
thought it was a problem with her driving because she didn't tell me until
today, but I heard through several people that drove with her that she was
worried about it.  She claims to have her foot all the way down on the
clutch and isn't traveling at mad speeds while downshifting.  She refuses to
let me test drive in fears of a holiday related traffic accident, but then
again she has been driving it this entire time, which worries me that she
continues to drive on it without an informed person taking a test drive.
The car has 600 miles on it and sure as hell shouldn't ever have a grinding
gear.

    Anyone heard of bad 6 speed boxes from the factory with bad synchros or
something else evil?  I am going to look through the Audiwurld archives to
see if anyone has had a problem like this.  I would really like to test
drive it, but for some reason she feels I would more likely be the one to
get hit, or maybe I'd be doing the hitting:)

Thanks!
