Hi guys,
I love my new 2017 F-type except for the fact that on quite a few occasions while at the upper rpm range 2nd gear will grind as I'm shifting from 1st to 2nd! I've been driving manual transmission cars for almost 20 years and I'm definitely not a noob when it comes to proper shifts. I am new to Jaguars as this is my first Jag, I did a search but couldn't find much evidence to support whether this is common on the new F-types with 6mt. Anyone else here experiencing this problem? Anyone have a fix or recommendation?
Thanks in advance!

Well, I know its definitely not my seat position or my failure to press the clutch in all the way. I have an appt scheduled for service this coming week on the car (the carpeting near the door sill isn't seated properly and kinda sticks out and speakers buzz/rattle when volume is up about half way) so Ill definitely have them address this as well, even though its covered under warranty, I hope its not a cumbersome repair as Id hate to be without my car for more than a day or two...
