rookie tranny problem

This is my first post so I hope you all can bear with me. Out of the blue this happen. I went to go driving around a few weeks ago, when I noticed that every time I tried to shift into 2nd, it would grind and then go in. It has been doing it ever since. I also noticed that if I shift very slowly into 2nd, it will go in no problem. It only does in second gear.

Do you have an adjustable master?
Maybe need to bleed the clutch?

I was told that the 2nd gear syncro mostly is causing the problem. No, I still have orginal master. I wanted to check with guys first before I did anything.

opps, i missed the part about only doing it in second. try going from 1 to 3rd and see what happens. my old ta did this crap but it was because i couldnt fully disengage the clutch without a master. if it goes 1 to 3rd than it might be the syncro
