Matt at Eriksson was very helpful about this. My first rebuilt 5-spd ('91 9kt) from them lost its 2nd gear synchro at 2K miles. The mechanic told me I was probably slam shifting it. Thanks, really helpful. Matt sent me a second tranny (free!), which I treated like it was made of glass, and after 7K the 2nd gear synchro started going. On Matt's advice, I switched to dino and the synchro appears to function well, but its lifetime has probably been shortened. So it sounds like evidence is really starting to accumulate about this. Thanks for your post.
