2nd gear is pissing me off

Are you sure you are disengaging the clutch fully from when you take it out of one gear and shift into the next, then releasing the clutch? Also, does it

Bad syncros are not unheard of, a number of people have had their transmissions replaced under warranty due to grinding gears.

i have the same problem. Ive driven stick cars since i started driving. And if i try to aggressively shift into second ill get a slight grind. brought it to the dealer and they told me that they couldnt reproduce it bc it doesnt happen in normal driving circumstances. and that it is normal to have a grind shifting like that.... yeaa.... the same people that i gave a TSB for something my car was doing and they couldnt find the problem (this is bc they were looking for the wrong problem.. morons) Needless to say i dont go to that dealership any more. i havnt found a solution.

in for some kinda solution..
