well bud, mine's the same, it goes away after 10-15 mins of driving, its the second gear synchro. i just ignore it, to me its not worth the hassle but you could get a synchro off toyota for it and save looking for an entire box...

grinding wears the dog engagement teeth, syncros are lil expensive for what they are... see if you can do a deal :P the big cost is removing the gearbox pulling it down and installing

i changed my 2gear synchro last feb and i haven't done any rough driving for it to be grind out already, i have the same problem wen it's cold i believe it's the clutch it only happens wen i gear down to 2nd, if i shift up i don't happen.
