When shifting you are supposed to be in the correct gear that applies to the current situation. If you begin going down a hill in 1st gear and the momentum is picking up quickly and now you need to be in 4th gear then that is correct [you can shift from 1st to 4th]. It sounds to me that you might not be in the right gear at the given situation - hence the grinding. How long have you been driving stick shift?
Transmission Grinding: Am I doing something wrong?
I'm currently running a Koup SX 6 speed and here is my problem. Whenever I do a 3 - 6 shift my transmission grinds, in fact, if I do a 4 - 6 shift, my transmission grinds. So I'm wondering, am I not supposed to be shifting from third to sixth (say accelerating onto the highway then shifting into 6th to cruise)? I was always under the impression that this was okay. Does anybody else's transmission grind when doing this or should I get it checked by the dealer?

This is inaccurate - you should be in the correct gear that the situation calls for.You should be shifting like this----> 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
