Second Gear Crunch

Would zero-freeplay clutch adjustment block the bleeder valve for auto adjusting slave cylinder? Or did I understand the mechanism wrong?
Thanks.

The regreasing the shifter ball helped me the most out of all the things mentioned so far...no kidding! My 2004 hasn't had a 2nd gear grind since doing this a year ago.
Also, make sure your clutch master cylinder is not leaking.

I'll try changing my clutch fluid next. Is there any other possible causes for the crunch that I could possible look into? Hopefully there's nothing too serious.
Also, would a differential fluid help with this problem? I've heard good things about Amsoil severe gear 75w90 and 75w110 browsing the internet.

I use the Amsoil 5w30 synthetic MTF in my tranny and it solved any low temp grinding I had. amazing stuff....don't put 75w90 in the transmission its not designed for a heavier oil. However the diff will do good with the Amsoil SG 75w90. I use all Amsoil now from the motor back and im happy with Amsoil products..

No..OEM says 75w90 so that's what I use. Same for motor and tranny... I feel using the correct weight as per OEM specs the way to go..

1. I started doing this 2 yrs.ago on my 04, and my son who just bought an 04, put all new Amsoil fluids in also.
2. I get them for a guy who sells at wholesale, I pay $8/qt. (and shipping is about 60 cents per qt.)I'm willing to pay a little extra over the $6.50/qt. for Mobil 1 (at Sams Club)., and I change once/yr. instead of twice/yr. (only put 8k on last yr.)

1. I used 5w30 Amsoil last yr. since I drive through the winter, but didn't bother the last change, just put 10w30 in it, and I've even used the 75w140 in the diff., 2 yrs. ago b/c that is what someone knowledgeable on the site used when I had them change out my fluids. I have another qt. of it, and I think I'll mix it with 75w90 next spring just to use it up. I don't drive hard enough to warrant the 140w; if I had 100k miles on the car, maybe.

Update: I adjusted the clutch and let the car sit for a few hours to become "cold" and the crunch was still there. Due to frustration, i put it back to how it originally was thinking, "it didnt work so what was the point?" lol. Is there any other possible causes for the crunch? or should i just try it again this weekend and see what happens?
This crunch is really frustrating and ruining my experience with the car. It's a love/hate relationship. I hate the car until it warms up, then i start loving it.
