For those in central jersey with second gear grind.....

It would seem that, as long as you can reproduce it for them, world vw is willing to do what is needed (drop the transmission, and replace the synchros). I had it there today, and unfortunately could not get it to grind (of course not, why would it grind when I wanted it to), but they told me that if I can get it to grind again, bring it back. They were telling me they had already done this for someone (is that person here, I wonder). Just a heads up for anyone who has been looking to get this fixed.....

Bump for those who may not have seen this yesterday, and something I forgot to mention. If you do have 2nd gear grind, don't bother trying to get it fixed at David Michael VW. They're not interested in fixing it at all.

It makes an actual grinding noise, pretty much the kinds of noise the transmission would be making if you tried to shift and didn't have the clutch in all the way.

I've never done it, but my friend did it while he was driving the car, and I have heard of other people with 3rd gear grind as well.
