Hey guys i was driving my Rx7 today for the first tiem in about 4 months due to weather and it runs fine with the exception of the 2nd gear seems much harder to shift into and sometimes even falls back into neutral .Im thinking this will go away after i drive it for a bit?Any help is appreciated.

Usually transmission problems like this won't 'go away' but only continue to get worse.
While I've an automatic in my FD, I've had a lot of manual transmission cars. Sometimes it is a simple as adjusting the shift linkage (where applicable) or replacing some seats and/or springs where the shift lever rests. Hopefully someone with first-hand knowledge of YOUR particular problem will chime in.

Good luck!

im no guru but sounds like a 2nd gear syncro to me... i have a little trouble getting it in sometimes but doesnt pop out into neutrall... mines a syncro issue...

If it's falling out of 2nd then you either have a damaged 2nd synchro or a collapsed spring under a shifter detente.

Preferably it's the latter, as that requires a lot less labor to diagnose/repair.
