This has never happened before let alone 2x in a row. I was driving back to work after lunch. Pulling out of my driveway and again at a traffic light 2nd gear made a grinding noise. My car only has ~15k miles on it, is very well taken care of, and I changed the MT fluid last summer. Maybe I just wasn't paying attention and not pulling the shifter back into its gate hard enough? I'm just annoyed, hoping this doesn't become an ongoing issue.

Right, and its not like it was cold outside or anything. I just hope it doesn't keep happening. It's embarrassing.

shift slower and push the clutch down all the way

if you have a round shift knob it helps too
