Default Can not down shift into 2nd anymore?

Just like the title says. This just happened to me a couple days ago. When i am driving and going through the gears it goes into 2nd fine. But if like I am slowing down for a corner and try to go from 4th to 2nd or 3rd to second it will not go into gear. But if I go from like 3rd to 1st then into 2nd it will work, or if I pump the pedal a few times it seems like it goes into 2nd then. I searched around for a bit on this particular problem and didnt find it.

Car specs:
year:2000
Miles:59,000

Everything on it is bone stock. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

sounds like you need a bleed or even have a bad 2nd gear syncro. But I'd bleed first and see from there.

Bleed it. If its still bad I'd tell you to upgrade to a '01+ slave cyl.
