My local shop installed both, and put in a new clutch and cooling system.  Second gear would grind and shift hard into second, so pulled the Trans and sent back to German Transaxle.  They replaced second and the syncro, but also said they were fine and the problem likely in the clutch or linkage.  Shop says the clutch and linkage are fine and say the problem is with the transaxle.  The problem continues and shop says they are done trying to fix it.  Very frustrating being in the middle.
