I have 2015 M6 Scat Pack. Bought it in late Jan of this year with 44k on the clock, and I've driven it 4k in the past 5 months.
Previous owner did some mods to it - aftermarket mufflers (I think they are Bullets but pure guess on my part) and resonators removed, Mopar CAI.
I'm experienced with manual transmissions, I'm also experienced with finicky manual transmissions. On top of that, I'm old and boring AF and aside from making loud noises in the first two or three days of ownership, I drive it gently and without drama.
Anyhow, everything's dandy aside from a refusal to smoothly shift into reverse at random times. Roughly 25% of the time that I try to engage reverse, it will grind. Sometimes it is a quick grind before engaging, sometimes it takes me 4 or 5 attempts. It happens in cold weather and hot, and it happens when I start it first thing in the morning and when warmed up.
The only other shifting issue I have experienced with this car is an occasional difficult up shift, but a bit of extra force applied to the shifter usually cures the problem without any grinding or anything dramatic. Never needed to use both hands to shift when this happens, and the force required has never been anything too concerning.This happens rarely, and hasn't happened much since the weather started warming up here in Vegas over the spring.
Based on the short video below, which is an example of the most severe reverse grinding I've experienced, does anyone have any thoughts? I have an appointment with a local Dodge service department on the 9th of June, would like to get some opinions while I wait.
