No. TR6060. Next iteration of T56.
It's not all gears, only 2nd gear that people seem to consistently complain about, and then when the box is cold or if speed shifting.
Changing out the ATF fluid to a decent manual transmission oil seems to give most people much better shift quality.

The tremec is a notchy box most strong manuals are. The thud is likely the centre bearing assembly which is designed to move and protect the tailshaft. Sounds like your just smashing the stick a little to enthusiastically in a tight new box.. Happens to the best of us I suppose

Go to 6:20 on this to see the how, why, what and source of 1st and 2nd gear shifting problems on T56 and TR6060 manual transmissions.

VF SERIES 2 REDLINE MANUAL
I have a 2016 Redline which I've had from new and I haven't ragged it and I also get a little bit of grinding from 1st to 2nd. I sometimes find it doesn't shift into gear correctly if I'm moving fairly slowly like around a tight roundabout. It seems like a synchro issue which I am going to mention at my next service. My car has 35K on the clock so the gearbox isn't tight or new.
i have the same issue.....2016 VF REDLINE
