[QUOTE="Flyer58, post: 441736, member: 18629"] Also check the transmission fluid level. It may be low or never changed at all. The synchros are made of a sacrificial metal that wears out long before the gears do and 2nd gear is often the first on to wear out. In several different vehicles, I've had to start the engine while in first gear and shift through the gear pattern just to get me home after the clutch quit working. If the synchros are all good and the RPM's are equal, the gears just falls into place. If the synchros are bad they will almost always grind when shifting. This is what I found with 2nd gear.
