[T2] 2nd gear problems

[david raistrick]

changing the gear oil to something still gl4 but thinner (something like redline MTL) can help.  just changing it at all can help (gl4 only no gl5!)

beyond that - assuming its not a worn coupler or mounts - its internal parts.    or a bit of clutch drag maybe.  - the 2nd upshift and the 1st downshift are usually the worst, and those syncros get the most wear....

mostly we just live with it until 2nd or 4th starts to pop out....  and 2nd is easier to hold in since we dont use it long.. :)
