shifter problems

had trouble putting car into 4th gear. it was real tight and it made a squeek as if rubber was rubbing and then it makes the same noise going into 5th but not tight. I took it back to the dealer and they checked it out and they said something is wrong with the bushings. I don't remember his exact explanation but whenever i get the problem fixed after the parts come in I'll post what actually happened, if i find out. At least the car is still driveable, it just sounds really crappy when I shift into 4th and 5th. Anyone else have this problem?

This is the first time I've heard of 4th and 5th gear problems on these cars. Most people with gear problems complain about 2nd gear.

theres a service bulletin, im sure you can find it somewhere on this site. take it back and make them look it up so they have to fix it. they are lying to you about no problem found because its a very well known problem, they just dont feel like fixing it
