2nd Gear Grinding

2ND GEAR POP-OUT UPGRADE-GBOX Transmission
At 142,000 miles I had to hold the shifter to keep the car in 2nd. Rebuild was pricey.

+1 for the Gbox fix. I just had this installed in August and the second gear engagement is more definite. I had 2 incidents of the tranny popping out of second gear in the first couple months I owned the car. First 500kms after the upgrade and no issues. Service from Gbox was prompt and courteous as well.

+1 from me as well.
The GBox detent is a really worthwhile improvement.
That and OEM fluid. Nice and smooth, no more crunchy shifts when cold.

Have you ever tried double clutching...after shifting out of first, stop in neutral, clutch it then go into second. If it goes in smoothly your disc my not be disengaging all the way, grinds still, 2nd gear synco going bad. Start off in 2nd and see if this works for you. My TIP always starts off in second, first gear is ver low...like a 4 wheeler.
