Every day, at least once, my second gear grinds for no ****ing reason, usually under slightly hard accelerations, not like a Leadfooted uber launch, but not Calmy McFeatherfoot either, just when i feel like givin it a little, ill go and when i shift into second (foot on the floor, no question, not an engaged clutch issue) it'll give me a nice little CCHHH and go into gear, i hate failing synchros
I feel your pain. When my car is cold I'll hop in and take off..drive like a gramma goin thru the gears and get a grind going into 2nd and into 4th for no reason...Pisses me off
my shifter broke when i was on the interstate and i thought it was my shifter fork, so i drove on, starta dn stop through 4 or 5 red lights in 5th gear,before i realized i could put the bolts back in the POS shifter. Well i fix the shifter and it sounds like a pissed bobcat everytime i hit 2nd now. No warning just all out grinding.
