Well I finally learned that the noise and feedback I'm experiencing is just nature of this tranny and was because of my habits of shifting. If I shift into second very slow and light, the synchro will push back exhibiting the previously stated noise or feeling. Now if I do a nice solid pull into second, no funky vague bite grind.
This tranny definitely likes a firm grip but not too much. Too little the synchro in 2nd pushes back, to solid you'll miss 3rd a lot. All a learning process. Definitely want the MGW for more solid feedback.
For anyone who is having the similar problem, let the car warm up by double clutching for a few minutes, I double clutch till the engine reaches operating temps. Then just shift solid into second from there on. You'll feel some resistance sometimes but from what I've heard this is just the failure in the feedback of these remote shifters.
I will let you guys know if this gets any worse but for now I believe it was just me and a bad habit. Car shifts great for me ad long as I do what I stated before.

Just when I thought I had a good one, my 2-3-4 is starting to go *crunch* - 2nd feels like it wants to pop out - Reverse and 1st are getting tougher to move into... I'll be contacting my dealer soon... I'm now convinced.

Just be firm when shifting into gear once she's warmed up and it'll be fine. Definitely what I learned this tranny likes.
