Another day another problem!! V50 2.0D

[Wayneoeyers]

So, recently had my flywheel and clutch changed as they let go 2 weeks ago.
But noticed today the car seems to grind, well not even really a gear grind, but more of a slap or crunch into second gear!
All other gears are fine and it sometimes doesn’t even do it, especially if I accelerate a bit harder in first before changing up into second. But if I drove normally and go to changed from 1st to 2nd it crunches.
Doesn’t do it all the time mind, not sure if it’s when I’m changing gear slower or what not. But it also doesn’t do it changing down from 3rd to 2nd, doesn’t jump out of gear at all either.
I’m hoping maybe the clutch needs bleeding a bit more?
Or worst case maybe the second gear synchro has gone? But wouldn’t that grind no matter of engine revs or speed when changing gear?
Anyone else had transmission problems with these cars?

I’m assuming you used a garage to do the work? If so, take it back assuming it’s got a warranty.

I'd say the clutch will need bleeding some more.

Update on this. Rebled the clutch and that’s all fine.
Still only slaps into second gear. But if I change gear slowly it doesn’t crunch, also if I double clutch in between 1st and 2nd it goes into 2nd smooth.
I think this is a worn synchro. What I want to know is how long can I drive it like this? Being careful obviously and not slamming it into second.
Just forked our nearly a grand for a new flywheel and clutch, don’t want another grand just yet on a recon gearbox!
