100% wrong. Although, different driving styles do cause varying level of wear on the transmission, why does it seem that every other synchro never fails? Oh yeah, i forgot, those ham fisted drivers MUST be slamming the shifter into second, and "gently guiding it" into every other gear. Because that makes sense.....
Its really very simple, you shift into 2nd much more often than the other gears in most driving situations. More shifts means more wear wear, and when you are slamming the gear, well, that explains the 2nd synchro failure.
