About 2-3 weeks about 2nd gear began to grind on my first shift into 2nd of the day. That's really hit or miss did it 3 days in a row and then a week without and then will happen again out of nowhere. I've always been able to feel 2nd gear mesh as it went in doesn't do that for any other gear. When I took it to the dealership they said the checked the slave cylinder because of the TSB and concluded zero was wrong and the solution to the grind was to let the car warm up for 20-30 minutes. Seems like a absurd amount of time to let a car idle and warm. I tried it anyway and still ground going in 2nd and it continues to give me the meshing feel all time. Any ideas on what this could be and how to get my dealer to help me solve it besides letting a car sit for 30 minutes(which still didn't fix it )

This is mostly temp and fluid related. Switching to Redline will help a lot.

Take it to the dealer as soon as you can. Ask to leave it there and for them to give you a loaner car while it's being fixed.
