Are you shifting fast? Mine did that, and I thought my hand was quicker than my foot [Smile]

either your syncro is toast or your transmission is not fully disengaged when you're shifting, i.e. could be a bent plastic quadrant, stretched clutch cable, things like that.

When my car did that 2nd gear synchro was bad. cause: I bought a cheap shifter!!! Pay the money for a good shifter it will save u on your next tranny.
