When was the last time you changed your tranny fluid?
I had a problem getting my shifter into 1st, then after I changed my fluid it was smooth as silk. You can use any kind of ATF. I like to use the synthetics |

synchros
Sounds like your 2nd gear synchros are going out. Although changing your fluid first would be a good idea...to see if it helps lessen the grinding some.

Sounds like your synchro. I have never taken a t5 apart, but I'v taken others apart and it is not fun. Maybe to the more experienced mechanic it is a breeze, but for me, it sucked.
