Default 2nd gear grinding?

Ok so i just got done with doing a auto to manual swap (using a TKO 600with 3k milles on it... at least thats what the guy said)
When regular shifting around 2.5 or 3k rpm everything is fine. When i rip it, or just down shift at higher then that it will grind ! this is the ONLY gear that this happens in...
ANy ideas?
thanks for the help/ideas

Kyle

TKO's are supposed to be tuff, I would question how many miles are on it

looks can be decieving......if it grinds....it'll have to come apart and sincros checked and if they are fine it may have a bad blocker ring/ friction material on it worn or abused
