downshift 2nd crunch, me or the tranny?

At the track all weekend, I was having issues of downshifting into second, and getting a small crunch, usually off a long straight. I was trying to make swift but smooth shifts, but would get a crunch. I was trying to double clutch and heal toe to match the revs, but it didn't help.

When I would pause in shifting, letting it sit in neutral a moment, then ease into second, it would work fine.

So am I doing something wrong, or am I loosing my second gear syncro?

BTW, just did a fluid change before the last event, fresh swepco.

Thanks!
