Presumably it has synchro 2nd or you would have always had to double declutch.
It is common for the bronze synchro cones to come loose and I have seen them with all the interference splines stripped off. Dunno symptoms but the cone should be visble and prodded with a screwdriver should not move separately from the 1 st gear hub.
Correction; the cone is of course attached to 2nd gear itself ; the point is it should not be wandering about independant of the part it is supposed to be integral with.
Really need more info to guess. Does it actually go into 2nd under any circumstances, including engine stopped. I presume you mean it goes into 3 and 4, not that after 3 and 4 it goes into 2nd?
If is trying to select two gears at one will graunch. and once engaged geabox will be locked solid!
If you have the lid off beware no spring washers etc fall in.
Must be someone out there with extensive experience who can guess.
