I need some insite as to what the issue is that im having with my boxster, Its a 97 boxster 5 speed with 108k miles....

Issue im having is that i hear a grind noise ONLY when im changing from 1st into 2nd gear while making a left or right turn. I make the gear change in the 3500 - 4000rpm range and as the shifter is entering 2nd gear, i hear the grind. Again, this ONLY grinds while going into 2nd gear while turning!

In Addition: The only way the tranny wont grind while shifting into 2nd during a turn is if i wait for the RPM's to drop to idle before shifting into 2nd.
