Does this happen to anyone?; 3rd to 2nd gear when cold

kinda hard to explain but ill try my best.

in the mornings or when car has been sitting around for an hour or two after it has cooled down - when taking it for a drive, after warming it up for a while first...

going back into 2nd gear, from 3rd it makes a grinding noise...does this with no other gear?
once the car is fully warmed up it does not do this...!

bit strange, - could it just be because it hasn't reached proper warmness?

thanks

As has been said above firstly change the gearbox oil, using either atf or pas fluid. however definetley dont just leave it and do nothing !! as it will just make things much worse, worst comes to worst it'll mean re-building the box or buying 2nd hand one.

if it is only happening whe it's cold then it's not the synchro it's more likely the oil, try using symantic

how do we change the gear box oil
it has a drain, it's like a screw at the bottom, you gotta look for it, but getting in the oil is sometimes kinda dificult, you need a flexible funnel so the new oil can run back in.
