You beat me by 5 min while I was typing ...seems very odd that it would be hesitant to go into JUST second without a synchro problem. Seems kind of out there, but have you taken a look under the boot of your shifter? Perhaps some of the rods/linkage (don't know what's down there, drive an auto MB) are outta whack.
