Dealer said the synchro failed and they found some metal in the tranny fluid as well. Thank god for the CPO warranty...

New transmission feels super tight, but I haven't tried any high RPM 1-2 shifts yet until it gets some more casual shifts on it.
Break her in right.... a fluid change at 1200 miles I suppose.
Did the mechanic state if this synchro failure was a rare thing or not?
