What RPM are you shifting into 2nd? It helps to shift at a higher rpm. 4000-4500 rpm shifts are a lot smother the 2500-3000 rpm shifts. If you've researched this topic in other threads, I don't have to tell you how noisy this transmission is. All of the above are unfortunately normal for this car. If you experience any girding in 5th or 6th, have that checked out because it could mean a new transmission is in your future.
