2nd gear grinding
the shift into 2nd grinds unless i do it very slowly and carefully. the rest of the shifts are not super smooth but seems okay. i've heard about the 5th gear problem, but does anybody else have this problem. or is it just my tranny is going bad. would redline or something similar help? thanks.

I'm using redline and my 2nd gear crunches and grinds. My 3rd gear has one very small crunch unless i quick shift it in there...all the other gears are fine...my 5th gear is superb. Except my reverse is sometimes hard to get into...but then again it's reverse

I've had a weak 2nd gear synchro since car was new. Up shift is the problem (down shift is great) and is better when warmed up and engine is at higher RPM's, like above 3K or so. Also, shifts easier since I changed gear oil to NEO synthetic.
