The TR6060 is notorious. Some have had luck swapping trannny fluid to Redline - I didn't. Some have it happen when cold but goes away when it warms up (mine's like that).

I have never had the notorious 2nd gear grind. This is even before I added the separate clutch reservoir and Amsoil tranny fluid. It was notchy, stiff, or rough before adding those, better now. I found that shifting, especially before the fluid is warm, before 3k rpms that the tranny would be more difficult shifting into second.

Oh and If the gear has been "grinded" before it may have damaged the gear or synchros.
