I have this same problem when shifting from 1st to 2nd, if I wait a few
seconds before I try and shift to 2nd, I don't get any grinding. I always
thought this was a syncro problem, but maybe I should try the bleeding trick
first! When I purchased this car it had a new slave cylinder installed in
it, maybe it does need bleeding!
Thanks!
