2nd gear issue when turning

I wanna know if anybody else has this issue and how it can be resolved.

When i make a left turn and try to shift into 2nd gear while my car is turning, i have a hard time shifting smoothly into 2nd gear, clutch fully in and everything, it either grinds and then goes in or it goes in but u feel roughness before it goes into 2nd.

Any other time while going str8 or @ the track, regular driving or WOT, i have no issue with 2nd gear.

Do i need stiffer motor mounts or something to prevent the movement around in my tranny or what do u guys think?

You should not be shifting while you are turning. You are supposed to do that before you turn while you are going straight. Yes, stiffer mounts might help, but that is improper driving.

That's what I do. I can see shifting during a long gradual turn that isn't very fast, but in general I think shifting during a turn is risky.
