I believe it's the synchro because when I try to go into 2nd, there is a grinding. I'll have to investigate more.

I mainly notice it when I put the car in neutral, coast around a turn at an intersection, and then try to put it back into second. Many times it'll grind and then everyone in the intersection looks at me so I know I'm not hearing things. I also get it will upshifting and I never downshift, so I haven't checked that.
