2. Don't shift so fast. Maybe even double-clutch.
Loose shifter is your shifter bushings. Mazdatrix has a rwite-up in their FAQ section.

read the topic... It says first to second shift. He's grinding when he lets off the throttle at high rpms in first gear, puts the clutch in, shifts to second gear (grind now), and then lets out the clutch.

I heard somewhere that 2nd gear grinding is quite common with 2nd gen rx-7s, something to do with the transmisson so you have to ease into it alittle more than your other gears.

It's a typical "problem" due to the separation of ratios from 1st to 2nd.  Run good synthetic lube - this helps a little.  The only way to totally eliminate the crunching, just wait a split second before shifting into 2nd or don't rev that high in between shifts.
