Grinding gears

I know this has been talked about already about high rev 1st into 2nd gear grinding etc....but something strange happened last night when I was driving. I just installed the 2 piece underhood bushings and yes it does feel great. I installed it @ my friend's shop and was driving home and getting gas.....made a right turn and afterwards I wanted to put the car in 2nd gear (was in neutral while turning....lazy yeah I know).....it didn't want to go in....so I thought to myself oh ok, probably needs some rev matchin to make it easier....so I revved the car a bit and the whole time my foot was on the clutch all the way to the floor and tried to ease 2nd gear in....and then bamn....grind... I got 48xx miles on my car and this is the 2nd time somethin like this happened.....first time I just threw it into 2nd from a 4k 1st gear shift and it grinded....but this time it grinded and I just put it back to neutral and wait it out.....drove it around all day today and had no issues with griding on 2nd.....2 questions....1) obviously this is not normal, so what causes this if anyone knows? 2) How bad is the damage from 2 grinds....I wouldn't imagine very much but I dun really know enough about transmission to make a call on this. Thanks for the input guys.
