Default Can't go into 2nd Gear

When I am at higher RPMs, 3,000-4,500, and try to shift from 1st to 2nd it won't let me. No matter how hard I pull down, it just won't go. I don't get any grinding. All my strength and nothing. I have to wait until the RPMs go back down below 3,000. What is the problem?

yep, same problem a couple months ago. almost sounds like your syncronisers are about shot(well, 2nd gear anyway). you can have your tranny looked at for free(diagnosticts test) at any trans. shop, thats what I suggest. rebuilds cost on average $300-$400. or what I did, go to junkyard or something and pick one up for about $500. new transmissions from summit cost $1200-screw that!
