As someone has hinted, a worn shift rail can cause this, as can a worn input shaft bearing, ...or a misaligned transmission to engine (missing flywheel housing shims). Is the transmission noisy in 2nd gear, or any vibrations? How much "play" in the shifter? Is the shift a precise H pattern, --or is making the 1 - 2 shift a slantward movement?
