Audi Repair: transmission, audi tt, syncros

Question
Hi Greg:  I've had a 2001 Audi TT convertible since last November.  Standard engine & 5 speed.  FYI, I've driven standard my whole life, and am good at it.  Just in the last month, I've noticed that if I shift quickly from first to second, there is a disturbing crunch.  If I shift rather slowly, it never happens.  Never happens in any other gear change, up or down - including from 3rd to 2nd - no matter how aggressive I am.  The car only has 40,000 miles on it, and evidence is it was babied by previous owner.  I have a bad feeling about this - is very expensive repair on the horizon???  Thanks for your input...

Answer
hello
this sounds like bad syncro in trans, If it's going bad, it will get worse soon.
What to do = it's up to you , you can drive like this and go easy from first to second or rebuild trans and replace all syncros.
I will just drive it and wait what's going to happen. Looks like the owner before you was not good in manual trans.
good luck            Greg
