RE: what could cause 2nd to grind?

I have the same problem on my 97 GT. Took it to a very reputable transmission shop and he told me it was the 2nd gear synchro and that it would cost about $700 to fix. Same issue as you, dude. Brought the thing home with 37000 on the clock and found the same issue. Somebody beat the **** out of my car.

Get it rebuilt..... I've had the problem b4 too. I could probly drop a t-5 out of a mustang blindfolded.... Whatever you do dont buy a used one... spend the extra and get it rebuilt or get a new one. Astroperformancewharehouse.com I just got a tranny from them about 6 months ago... works great!
