I took apart my t5 to replace 2nd gear. But thats not the problem lol. Everything was going back together just fine but..... I didnt mark the way they go back . My problem is the sleeve synchronizer for 3rd - 4th. I dont know which way it goes back. Every manual says to put it back the way u marked it, but what if you didnt mark it lol, then what? Its number 80 in the diagram. It has a factory mark on it, a X on one side

the bevel faces the input shaft and if you look inside the slider there is 3 notched teeth every 1/3rd way around the slider. you should slide it on so the detents are in the center notch.

and about your 2nd gear your shift fork might be bent i think thats wats wrong with mine the 1st time my tranny started poping 2nd gear out and wouldnt do in i ditched it and threw it off a cliff not really but anyway i just bough another one for 180 2 months later some thing is wrong with it i want to keep this one cause it shifts really nice and it doenst humm or wine or make any funny noises

I doubt the shift fork is bent, that'd affect more than just one gear and it'd cause binding........you need to inspect the 2nd gear synchronizer hub for mushroomed teeth and the inside of the slider at the ends where the gear hub mates for broken teeth or chepped teeth, also end play should be checked on the counter gear

There is some links to pictures of sleeve..... Im just not sure which way it goes back, notice on picture has a side view, one side of sleeve has a slight slope to it unlike the other. there is a x on the other side, not side with slope.

put the bevel edge towards the input shaft!

k thank you!

looks like you forgot to put the detent retaining ring on the slider hub. dont forget to do that otherwise you'll be tearing it down again

What evidence is there that the bevel has to go towards the input shaft? The service manual says nothing of this.
