This happened to me 3-4 times since I bought the car about 5 months ago. Last time was yesterday. Each time, I was shifting at a high rpm, the second gear did not engage well and got the grinding noise. I owned 2 other manual cars before and drove many more, and never had such an issue. Idk if this is an issue with the syncro or not but I try to exert more force especially while shifting into second, to avoid this issue.
