I was just in to scanwest on Wednesday for a similar problem in my '92 900s... my 2nd gear synchro has failed, so it grinds going into 2nd.
The guy who looked at it (whose name I don't remember) said that if I can double-clutch shift without grinding, no more damage will be caused. If I do grind the gears, the 1/2 output shaft/part will mushroom, and will stop meshing with the gears properly, making one or both of those gears unable to engage.
My 2nd gear is at least usable though. I had the fluid changed for a total of $76 and will double-clutch to reduce damaging the gears... because the rebuild of the transmission is more than I'm wanting to spend.
Good luck-
KR
