Grinding in second

[camaro_guy]

When I shift into second at a high RPM the trannie grinds, it only happens going into second. Would this be bad synchros?

Bad master cylinder.

Check if the fluid is clean, if not replace the master.

Oh yay... It started after I blew out my old trannie and had a new one installed about a year ago. When I took it back to the place and told them about it, they just told me not to drive it as hard.

lol they didn't lubricate it well enough when they put it in. They should have usd some silicon based oil when replacing the gears. Check back with them.
