Ok I bought my car knowing the tranny didnt like 2nd gear, and its very hard to get it in 2nd. The problem is that it will not stay in gear. I will push in clutch, put the lever in 2nd position, does not grind at all or make any deal about going in. But when I let off the clutch, 2nd is not engaged, and if I try to push it in again it will grind (because everything has sped up now) I was thinking the actual gear itself was broken. But sometimes (randomely it seems) it will go in 2nd no problem and stay in second. I got to thinking maybe its the shift linkage and/or the aftermarket shifter, which is a hurst. I dont want to spend alot of money on a new tranny if thats not the problem.
