That grinding is normal - you werent in gear, you tried to force it in while the car was still moving/engine wasnt matched, synchros couldnt catch up fast enough so grind.

I just feel like I should be changing the MT fluid after it happens because of the awful sound.
Will my "sometimes-crunchy" 2nd gear engagement suffer much from the few grinding mishaps?
My S is running stock fluids though so maybe trying something else will be able to smooth it out.
