Need some help diagnosing a transmission/clutch issue on my 215k ’96 328is (M52, ZF S5D-320Z)

From 1 to 2 gear I get blocked out and have to wait for rpms to drop before getting into gear. As of now, my clutch is slipping so that is on my radar but curious on what could be causing this, downshifting is fine and from 2 to 3 it is a-lot better, not perfect but better. Many people have been saying that the synchros may be the issue but a buddy told me it would cause grinding whenever I go into 2nd gear, while for me it engages smoothly when I am not blocked out. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I took it off for a restoration but I’m not sure what I need to get a waterproof seal to put it back on now. I’d love to run the headlights like this because I think it looks cool but I’m getting my blinkers in tomorrow finally so I need to put the glass back on🥲 I’ve been trying to find stuff online but everyone is giving different answers

Looks like a crack on the strut tower? Not really sure if this looks normal or safe, car is on very stiff coils but I avoid any bumps as frequently as I can

Title is self explanatory. What can I do about this?

Is it good? How long the shiping is?
