The issue suddenly appeared. The car works normally except for the grind. I've had no issues with the transmission other than first gear grinding and overdrive wiring issues.
Both engine mounts and the transmission mount were replaced months ago.
I've replaced the fluid 3 times.
Bushings are quite worn seen by wobbly shifter but alla gears go in nicely and I never miss gears.
I drive the car harder than most people would. It's a NA diesel so not much power to break anything. It has good enough low end torque to get going in 2 with just the clutch similarly how a gasser would get going with using the throttle so don't need first gear that much haha.
I think the only thing that could cause first gear grinding would be a syncro fault like dirt or mechanical issue but considering the issue went away on it's own the last time has me baffled.
It surely can't be mechanical damage because that shouldn't go away without doing anything.
