it only grinds when its cold.and only first to second,allthough all the other gears are slow to line up too but 1st to 2nd accually grinds a little . unless i very deliberatly double clutch. which is why i want to try the redline first .ive heard its good for this issue . ive been driving a stick on and off for like 10 years so i think i have the shifting thing down . i live in maine so that tranny oil is thick when it first starts up even in march its sleeting now.
