Hi everyone! Im asking here too see if anyone can give me some light.
I own a Subaru Crosstrek 2018 with a manual 6 speed transmission. A week ago my clutch fork broke leaving me stranded for a few minutes. I was able to get the car to a local mechanic by getting the car into 3rd gear by rev matching.
The local mechanic changed the clutch, clutch fork, throw-out bearing, pressure plate, pilot bearing and also the slave cylinder. All with genuine subaru parts (I got them myself).
The car now has a marked improvement in how it feels. Feels like a new car (Except for the issue below) But, here's the issue: It now grinds when I try to engage 2nd gear. Only that one. The others work great.
Some other things to consider:
As of today Im using the car without using that gear, just jumping from 1st to 3rd

Some other things to consider:
- The car has 145k miles
- This issue didn't exist before. All the gears engaged without issues before
- Most of the time, the gear WONT grind if I wait until the rpms are lowering and at 1600 to 1500rpm
- If I try to put the car in 2nd gear with the clutch pedal fully depressed and the car stationary, sometimes it grinds, sometime it doesnt.
- The gear grinds, but it engages most of the time
- This only happens to 2nd gear. All the others work fine
- Double clutching has no effect, It grinds anyway
- The mechanic did the job by raising the engine
- The mechanic says he didn't cause the issue since the clutch work is done outside the transmission.
- During the troubleshooting for the fork issue, the mechanic disconnected the hydraulic line and depressed the clutch to see if there was pressure. Im 99% sure that he didnt bleed the system afterwards.
- He didnt touch the clutch pedal. The pedal feels lighter than before
