If you haven't been grinding the gear to long or hard its possible a gear lube change with factory lube may fix it.

the syncros are unique and factory fluid is designed to work best.
try it.
I once used aftermarket lube and after 500 miles second gear would grind
I immediately replaced the lube with factory and the problem went away.
I have also seen grinding from lube that had over 100k on it cause grinding. New lube fixed those problems too.
