Recently I have been having trouble shifting into second gear at normal shift speed or when downshifting. 2nd gear has a tendency to grind under these conditions. If I slow down the shift, or wait until slowing down more for downshifting, it will ease into gear w/o a grind.
I would normally assume immediately that this was due entirely to a blocker ring problem, except that at the same speed I can downshift or engauge first gear w/o any effort! This is what throws me off. I know the synchros are becoming worn, as the problem has gradually increased. Yet to my knowledge first and second share the same synchro blocker ring, and first is fine.
What is your input on this? Thanks!
