Default 2nd Gear Grind?
Usually when I am stomping on my car in 1st, I shift into second at 5k+ and the gear grinds....I am confused why it only happens going into 2nd and not any other gears.

Any help would be appreciated.

It is probably the way you are shifting. Are you letting out the clutch too early? I dont see why that would be happening if you are shifting correctly.

It grinds right when I pull it into second. The clutch is all the way in.
