my new (to me) 02 S has 43k miles on it with less than 4k on a g-box rebuilt tranny b/c of the 2nd gear syncro "problem." the tranny fluid is swepco 201 as recommended by g-box. same problem. very difficult to shift when cold. only takes 2 min to warm up, but it's a tranny issue and not a clutch, linkage, etc. issue. i just drive it down our 1/4 mile driveway in 1st to warm up the tranny internals. it seems to go away pretty quickly and all is well. i called g-box and they said to check for oil on the clutch disc, etc. i am going to keep an eye on it, but i think it's just a quirk and a little annoying. fwiw my old 914 with the 901 tranny did the same thing.
