Default Lost 2nd gear need some help

I was out driving the other day and I haven't had any problems with my transmission before but I got on it in first and went to grab second and there was nothing there..... I have read a few links and all of them said the teeth on the engagement gear have been sheared off. Well where do I go about buying this to get it replaced?

My vote is a bent shift fork.

Had this same problem except a different gear. Just seems like the fork isn't allowing the gear to engage. Whatever the case may be it will need to come out and apart. If it were teeth there would be all kinds of noise.

Early T56 transmissions are notorious for sheering off all the engaugement teeth on 2nd gear. It isn't uncommon at all. Were you shifting hard or just normal driving?
