tranny problem?!?!
i changed my clutch last week..i put over 350+ miles on it so far, yesterday is when i first started to drive the car hard, not doing burnouts or chirping gears but up to redline...now yesterday as i started to shift into second, it wouldnt go it, and when it does, it pops out. it will go in most of the time when i am going slow, but then it will pop out. but when i down shift from 3 to 2 it will go in fine. so i need your input. thanks.
I hate you too

Well, you shouldve let it break in a little longer. But now that you have a stronger clutch, the synchros might not be used to the harsher engagement. If you did it yourself, make sure there is no rattling, cause a pressure plate bolt might of came loose, therefor not holding the disc properly.

kinda hard to mess up the tranny unless you dropped from over your head. make sure your shift linkage is on properly, and torqued up.

The throw out bearing should have nothing to do with it, unless it's getting jammed on the shaft, and like you said, it's only doing it in that gear. Sounds like your synchros are bad, or the linkage is not in there right. If it's pulling just a little, there's enough torque to pop it out of gear, even at low rpms, or constant...

i know when my syncros are bad, 3rd gear its gone, but it only grinds going into 3rd but downshifting into 3rd it doesnt grind. i have no grinding in second, but, when it does pop out, it will grind and it wont let me in at all, so i have to up the rpm in first and shift into 3rd.
