Default 2nd gear grinding...

and its gettign worse and worse.

indicative of a failing clutch? how much damage am i doing to my transmission. can i make it to a point where the transmission will be destroyed? how hard is it to take teeth off of gears.

its seriously getting really bad...only when i drive her hard, but considering i like to drive my car hard i need a little direction here.

also, how many of you grind second gear like hell and no other gears? especially 6th gen owners.

not every gear because the syncros and gears vary size in every gear. 2nd is usually the first to go, the 3rd, then first, then 4th...and then you get to replace your clutch. i usually change mine well before i gridn gears though...it doesnt seem to be slipping yet.
