We had a rash of bad syncros a couple years ago ('01s I think) on the
list. So it's not unheard of. Plus, I'd say it's fairly hard unless
you really, really, really abuse the vehicle to do that damage in 5K of
street driving. 5K into a vehicle's life, something breaks like that,
it was probably bad from the start - no sense in the dealer getting up
in arms about it.
