Bingo, I have a second gear issue too. When I had the 3rd gear replaced, I asked them to look at 2nd as well. Guess what? They didn't. My problem is that it is hard to get into 2nd gear. It feels like there is something you have to push through to get into gear, or a single knotch to get past. Quickly shifting into 2nd at high rpms sometimes grind because of this. Second gear should be extremely easy to shift into and has been for ever other car I have owned (never owned auto). Who knows.
