I know if i do what you describe, and dont have the clutch FULLY in, it will crunch, otherwise theres no issues, check you are putting the clutch fully in, thats the only time I have a problem.

It's pretty common for this to happen, more than likely ull get it from 2nd to 3rd soon too. Im surprised they said it's not the synchros, cause I'd have thought it would definately be them, but ye, you're lookin at a new box or recon yours (hella expensive) to fix the problem. Not the cheapest things on the planet :/
