I just got my 2002 C4 about three weeks ago, and the previous owner, as well as the PPI shop attributed the gear grinding going into 2nd as a worn clutch. The clutch did indeed need replacement, and has made the shifting better, but I still have an occasional issue going from 1st to 2nd, and more frequently downshifting from 3rd into 2nd.

I would imagine the suspects could be a worn synchro gear for 2nd and/or a possible air bubble in the clutch hydraulic line that would cause the clutch to not fully disengage when I press on the pedal.

Any ideas of what else might be at play here?

Thanks, all!
