That grinding is normal - you werent in gear, you tried to force it in while the car was still moving/engine wasnt matched, synchros couldnt catch up fast enough so grind.

no words to describe how good it is to hear both of you say that haha
The previous owner said he changed all fluids at ~ 35,000 miles and right now I'm at ~40,000 miles

I just feel like I should be changing the MT fluid after it happens because of the awful sound.
Will my "sometimes-crunchy" 2nd gear engagement suffer much from the few grinding mishaps?
My S is running stock fluids though so maybe trying something else will be able to smooth it out.
