Tranny Problem

anyone know why my 88 GTU wont allow me to downshift to 2nd? even at low speeds it tends to get "sticky." im hoping it doesnt require a full tranny replacement so im open to any ideas and suggestions. thx for the help.

Yeah are you blipping the gas properly? My 2nd gear syncro is dead but when I double-clutch and blip it downshifts like butter.
