    Stop "Speed Shifting" until you can get it rebuilt. Most likely a bad syncro if only grinding in second. Does it get any better once the tranny warms up?

    The other two common causes are bent fork or dead stop on aftermarket shifter set to close (forward).

    Car still has original shifter, and it does shift smoother once warmed up.but still grinds but not as bad.

    My 01cobra was grinding going into second, took it to dealer and they installed a rebuilt tranny.
