Re: 2nd gear grind - solution

["Ian Overholt" <ioverholt@hotmail.com>]

<x-flowed>I have found this to be true in my case also.  But I experimented a little 
bit because I had a theory that the grinding was related to how fast I moved 
the shifter lever, not simply double-clutching.  I tried simply shifting 
slower; say five seconds to shift instead of the normal two seconds.  In my 
case, this solution worked.  YMMV.
