my itr trans works flawlessly when the car is first started and cold, after a long drive 2nd gear always grinds pretty badly. whats causing this, and whats the cure?

 

When was the last time the fluid was changed? Fluid level?

 

In addition to your tranny fluid make sure your clutch fluid is clean and bleed. You might not be fulling disengaging the clutch if your fluid is dirty.

If the tranny and clutch fluid do not work then probably your syncros.

exactly what i wanted to say

 

yeah i had the same problem with my tranny...flush out the fluid and change it out worked for me

 

my slave cylinder is pretty old, how do i determine if it is indeed the slave cylinder and not my synchros

You change the tranny fluid/bleed & change clutch fluid and ensure the level is correct.....go out drive the car and if it still grinds....

it's likely the syncros.....
