ALL my other gears are fine and shift perfect, but lately 2nd gear has gotten a little scratchy/notchy (its not as smooth as it was before). This has been progressing over the last 6 months id say.

I have not ever grinded a gear and my car now has 30,000 km on it, and Im already using the amsoil.

I dont get the 2nd gear though, 10 shifts from 1-2 will be smoother then a babys ass then the next 10 shift will be scratchy/75% less smooth then the first 10 shifts.

I dont understand how it can vary from 10 shifts to the next 10 shifts.

I just had the fluid amsoil fluid changed again for more amsoil and there was no synchro dust / metal in the fluid, it still looked brand new after 25,000km..

Does anyone have any insight into this? Its driving me mad!
