You might want to change out the fluid and see if it helps. Hopefully it isn't the syncros because they practically require a rebuild in my experience. For my stealth they don't even sell the things, just full rebuilt units. Good luck on your sale, I hope all goes well and you can sell the wagon to a happy new owner.
I was actually planning on draining and refilling it anyway because of the slight problem going into second gear it had before...I'll give that a shot as I bought a couple of bottles of the redline MT-90 that is supposed to help it shift smoothly.
