If it goes into the other gears fine, i wouldnt think it would be your clutch. Sounds like your 2nd gear synchro is going out.

Does it grind when you shift slowly?

Do Steeda shifters have shift stops?

it grinds when i shift at normal rpm but goes in fine in lower rpm below 1500. I'm going to take a look at the shifter this weekend I know they have something built into it to help it go into gear.

Well if the stops arent adjusted properly, it wont go in smoothly. I had that problem with my pro5.0 when i first got it. I didnt leave enough room and when id go to quickly throw it in 2nd, it would grind a little. I just adjusted the stop bolt back a few turns and problem was solved...

That happened when I installed my MGW...the T56 has shift stops built in so I just backed out the MGW shift stops but they rattled their way back in and made the 1-3-5 shifts grind and wouldn't even go in. Kind of embarassing, looks like you don't know how to drive your car.
