Car goes in for repairs in a couple of weeks Could be clutch or synchros. I will update when car goes in.
It's good to hear that they are acknowledging that there is an issue. I made the mistake of letting mine go out of warranty.

I have noticed that if I drive it hard it shifts much better.

My issues are mostly at low RPM (notchiness), but recently, I have ground 2nd gear twice badly at high RPM.

I have posted this elsewhere but changing the clutch fluid (surprisingly) made it quite a bit better.
