Its a Syncro. Get it do the dealership and let them know there is a TS out there that says they need to fix it for free.

Once it starts grinding, a rebuild is your only option. When was the last time you changed you tranny oil and what did you use?

Try tossing some royal purple in there. That may give you a little more life, but you are just delaying the inevitable

I meant a TSB, Technical Service Bullitin. It makes the dealer aware of certain problems with certain cars of certain year models. Here is a link you will find helpful. Loow for "Powertrain TSB's".
