As Slowhawk has mentioned, the sintered bronze blockers are little tight sitting on the cone of the 2nd gear. When the transmission warms up, the clearance loosens up enough so the 2nd gear doesn't grind. The carbon blockers are little thinner sitting on the 2nd gear cone and also the friction material is less "grabby" compared to the bronze blocking rings. I think that is what's causing the 2nd gear grind.
