2nd gear won't work
 

Push the clutch in, shift to second and grinding and second gear just doesn't work.. help? :/

Prolly a synchronizer

Or a gear

Hmm. Mine has ground into second gear multiple times. According to the dealers I have taken my car to they have never worked on a 2nd gear issue with an mt82. Bunch a lying crooks.

is it okay to drive but just not try and go into 2nd?

out of all the trannys I have broke over the years, sounds like a 2nd gear synchro to me

that's what I figured..

these MT82's are a joke.....can you spell "tremec"......i can shift my 2012 Focus S quicker than the 2012 5.0......

I have one I never had problems with laying around collecting dust. If interested ill sell

I've had this experience on another transmission before, it's the engagement teeth on 2nd gear. Synchronizers just make for a smoother shift and no grinding, engagement teeth actually make the gear work. Should be fine to drive with no 2nd, I did it for 6 months back in the day when I was strapped for cash until I could fix it.
