Your 2nd gear synchronizer ring is wearing out. You can use a high quality synthetic gear oil and slowly shift into second gear to prolong its life. If you're easy on it, it can last a long time still, but eventually you will need the trans rebuilt or replaced. If this is an NA transmission, the synchros are notoriously weak, and this is a common problem.
