Hi All
I've searched this forum in depth for this problem but I think I might be the first. When changing from second to third there is a very clear, very loud grinding/crunch sound. Like plastic being dragged along gravel or a blender with ice in it.
I've uploaded a video to YouTube and you can hear it both just before and just after moving from 2nd to 3rd gear. It's clearer on a PC. It happens just as the clutch is depressed in 2nd (before moving the gear lever) and when it's fully in 3rd (clutch fully up) this is the link:

It's a week old, and it's done 170 miles. It actually physically slows the car and I can only describe it as like driving into a strong gust of wind. Not unlike the gears crunching but not as violent and without the gearstick being moved.
It's going back to the dealer's tomorrow morning but does anyone have any suggestion as to what this grinding could be?
