Grinding going into 2nd gear
I have a 2007 M6 Z51 and have noticed that going into 2nd gear it grinds, even when I am at a complete stop. Is this the start of my clutch going? My Vette has 46k. Thanks in advance for the help.

It's not as bad as it sounds. Just cost a little bit of money. Good luck.

Does it do it at all temps?
Both my 2006 and 2008 cars have had a hard time going into 2nd gear when cold....once they warm up it shifts completely fine.
If you are having a hard time with it still.....and it is only that gear, then you have something inside going out, and typically yes it would be a syncro.

If you havent changed out the fluid your clutch fluid resevoir, I would suggest you do that.
Look up the ranger method and follow that procedure before doing anything else.
Its a cheap procedure and may help with the problem.
Good Luck

This has helped many people with this problem and is very inexpensive to do.
