Ok so when i'm driving my car does this really weird thing, when i'm shifting from first to second. I will have the clutch all the way in, and it will act like it's not even in at all like when i go to shift i can't put it in second, and i end up slamming it cruching the gears, it sucks ass, and it makes this horribile sound. it only does this VERY rarely, it did it tonight while i was racing. it has done it when i'm just driving normal too. I don't know if it's a tranny prob or what but i just had my clutch replaced like a month ago and it's great, no slipping or anything. i can only recall like 3 times it's done it, it's very strange and kinda hard to explain, but anyone know what this is?

try rev-matching.

everything i say is guesses because i am auto, and only have knowledge of manuals
but,
could be synchros or could be the gear...
theoretically it should be able to be both, fi the sychros are worn, and you kept slipping into 2nd it could have grinded the grooves at the edge.

but i'd guess Synchros since you were racing when it happened last...

If the clutch grabs with the pedal near the floor, I'd bleed it again, if the clutch grabs near the top, you probably have a worn/damaged synchro ring in the trans. (assuming your trans fluid is good and at the proper fill level,,,)

I would do a tranny fluid change first, then bleed the slave cylinder. It sounds to me like you really have a bad syncro for second gear. Try double clutching and see if that does it for you.

that's what I was thinking. Just check the master cylinder and make sure it's not leaking from the outside (engine bay) or the inside (the foot pedel). If everything is ok there, then your syncros are going out.

This happened with my supra, but my master cylinder was leaking, so I replaced it and it stopped.
