Transmission problem
1970 Volkswagen Beetle 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual unkown miles

I have a 1.3l vw motor which we converted to a 1.6l and put it into a beach buggy. The problem is 2nd gear, it grinds every time we put it into 2nd, it also pops out of 2nd every now and then. Another problem is whenever you release the clutch the car starts to rev very high by itself. any hepl would be appreciated.
