I have the aftermarket Hurst and it does it also. And the stock did it before I swapped.

I have found that I have to slow down the speed of my shift from first to second, and give the motor RPM's time to come down a bit (4500-5K)before I pull it back into second or it will grind. 2nd to 3rd and so on are not a problem. Just 1st to 2nd. Stock shifter did same thing.
Simply put, me and the shifter are "out running" the tranny. This is the only car I have ever experienced this with.I can speed shift my old 89 ford F150 faster than this thing.

As for wearing out...I have 1k on the car.
