Second gear downshift grind.

I can't downshift to second, or shift into it at all unless I'm in first going to second. It just grinds until I stop the car. Please help ASAP.

Does it also grind going into third when you shift in high rpms? Your second to third gear ratio could be going out. Either that or your trying to go into second at a too high speed or rpm.

Try double clutching when downshifting. That is what I do, because my 2nd gear synchro is bad.

your syncros are bad try changing the fluid perferable to redline synthetic but ne change at this point will help and just try to double clutch and rev match as much as you can other than that baby it till you can get it fixed at the shop
