clutch Master cylinder
slave cylinder
pilot bearing
clutch release
bent clutch disk
driver error
shifter

There are so many things that have a direct impact on the way that the transmission shifts.

Tremec builds these transmissions in almost the exact same configuration for 6 other vehicles. So besides the 48,000 for the Camaro, there are proabably another 500,000 TR6060 transmissions out there since 2007. With almost no discerable 2nd gear issue in any of them.

I have a 2012 Challenger with the same issue.

So...
New vehicles, modded shifters (Hurst and others) and experienced drivers all reporting the same or similar problem would put a lot of the above factors out of consideration.

It seems to be the case that new and improved blocking rings are being supplied under the OEM P/N and provided to the overtly whiny/notchy, both people and Trannys - lol, that take the time to do something about it.
