Now that I'm getting more familiar with my car, I'm driving it a little more aggressively which includes raising my gear change shift (rpm) points.

In doing so, one thing that is occurring is I'm getting grinding going into second gear. Keep in mind that I'm well aware of the idiosyncrasies of the 915 transmission and have been working hard at trying to develop my driving skills to work around them. This includes a pretty long pause when shifting between 1st and 2nd and shifting to neutral and letting the clutch out when coming to a stop before putting the transmission in 1st.

The problem I'm having now is that if I wind 1st gear out to anything over about 2,500rpm before shifting to 2nd, even with a fairly long pause, the transmission grinds going into second. So, I'm trying to determine what this is telling me.

I've read numerous threads on this site about the 915 but none so far have talked specifically about the characteristic I'm now describing.

Other than the normal bulkiness between first and second and second and first gears, the transmission shifts fine.

Anybody have any thoughts on what might be the most likely cause of this grinding?

Thanks
