you need to replace your synchro gears, and probably the synchro rings etc. i would get the rebuild kit from d&D or something like that. And then iw ould get a new 1-2 synchro gear, and i would make sure to check the teeth on the gears themselves wher the synchro slides on and off to make sure they weren't wore too much either

just something to think about
