Boilermaker1 is a splendid one to behold

Gear teeth don't mesh and you mash up the edges of the teeth. Once, I wouldn't worry. I've missed a few times. it happens. its not like the tranny will fall apart, its got some room for mistakes to happen. your tranny fluid will have a few extra metal shavings in it.

genexrocket has a spectacular aura about

it's all good; if i do grind it's sometimes when i'm in a hurry putting the car in reverse without pushing the clutch all the way down; almost everyone grinds their car at least once in a lifetime, heh

I grinded my 2nd gear like 3 times in the 3 months that I have my car, for some odd reason it felt like it was in but wasnt.

won't really hurt anything, as long as its not an everyday occourance. one time i was raceing and i let the clutch out a little to soon and didn't full grab and had to slam it into 3rd with a bit of grind.
