Wanted to update this thread with what happened.

Ultimately after driving the car some more, I was hitting the gas really hard and it popped out of second under acceleration with kind of a bang and from then on popped out under acceleration and deceleration. Ended up having second gear rebuilt by CMS in Arizona, at the same time had my Quaife differential installed.

CMS send back the old second gear and it is very obviously worn on the teeth, it was shot.

So if your car pops out of second on acceleration and deceleration or just deceleration it is likely a bad second gear.
