I know. Additionally, the mechanic mentioned that when I had it in there before (at 2k miles) they didn't put the LS additive in, but they put it in now and it doesn't sound as bad. So, it has run from 2k miles to 23k miles without LS additive and still grinds. Ugh.

Maybe I will have to go back to the dealer I bought it from, but here in New Mexico the next closest dealer not associated with the local dealer is 220 miles away, and the dealer I bought it from is 320 miles away. There's one in Texas 60 miles away though.

They still have some other work to do, so maybe they're just trying to get the differential work on separate tickets.

The shifting in general just doesn't feel right though. Even going into second feels like I'm having to force it. But, thanks for the tip. I'll give it a shot.
