2nd gear grinding ?

I had my clutch replaced recently with a SPEC Stage 1 and since then...trying to shift from 1st to 2nd at high rpms results in massive grinding. Is there anything I can do to fix this ??

Make sure your fluid was topped off, and possibly replace your clutch with a good quality brand. OEM exedy is generally the best for our cars under 260 whp.

Have you tried adjusting the clutch pedal? Maybe its not fully disengaging the clutch...

I had the same issue... Which I hated after I put back in ny transmission then I noticed my clutch pedal wouldn't get stiff I bleed the Hell out of the clutch.. I found out the master cylinder was **** it would barley pump out any oil if that not working good it would cause transmission issues..
