Hi Chris!


I've had the dreaded second gear problem.   Here's the test I performed
to determine it was *definetely* in the ZF.   I disconnected
all the shift linkage (and tied it up) and ran the car only in second.
It took a little while but some full/off throttle games an it popped
out of gear.   It's since been fixed and everything is fine.
I live out in the country so driving in second gear was only a minor 
challenge (brought my brother to help me get it turned around).
Unfortunately, I don't remember the exact fix, although I do
know I have a steel syncro for 2nd gear vs. the softer brass..
