Default 6sp problem!

2001 S4 42K miles. original warranty remaining. I shifted into 2nd at a pretty full throttle last night and it popped out and grinded really bad. I can still shift the tranny into 2nd, but it is really hard to shift in and really hard to shift it out. I have never had a problem like this in all my manual cars. Could this be as bad as a new transmission or maybe just a bad synchro or whatever. Any thoughts/help is appreciated. I am driving the car when I must now, and skipping from 1st to 3rd on shifts. Could this be a warranty item to have replaced?
thanks for any help! td

They better fix that considering no mods and under 40k. If they don't raise hell!

Of course it's a warranty item. Take it in and get it fixed.
