Hi,
I just got my car back from a 5sp swap. Depending on the rpm range and throttle pressure, the car really likes to gring when going in/out of 2nd gear... this is really annoying and frustrating after all the time I spent on this swap... Is there anything I can do? Do you think it could be the tranny fluid? Any suggestions? Please help!

sounds like your second gear synchro is gone, which is really bad, you could try some synthetic tranny fluid in it which might make it a little better but it will only get worse most likely.  If you got that tranny with any kind of warrenty ide be talking to them right now

Yeah, what he said. Your still going to have to pay for the labor involved.
You do push the cluth to the floor right?
Do it make like a "bump" grinding that you feel, or an audible grinding that you can hear?
