Re: HELP! 5 sp. 2nd gear DEAD!

Lol. I think you misunderstood.  I was simply offering examples of what the
tranny will and will not do with the second gear missing.  I am stating that
if I try to pull it into second without the clutch engaged it will not go. 
IE:  if the second gear is completely shaved should it not go into gear
without the clutch being engaged? And, why would I still get grinding from
the syncro with nno foward movement from the car?

TIA, Shayne
