I have quick question. The 2nd gear grind is an issue with some models (well documented everywhere), and I'm unlucky enough to have one is a bit grindy. Can I bring it in and have them do anything to fix it?
Thanks!

How many km? First and second use triple cone synchronizers which might take a while to break in nicely. Firm shifting helps a lot. Slow through the gate and you increase the chance of a grind.
Synchronizers need to line up the baulk ring quickly to let the dogs engage smoothly. A light touch on the stick for this gearbox is the wrong idea.
The manual is based on a light truck Toyota gearbox. It is one tough box and does not like to be babied.
