Subject:Grinding 2nd

My Syncro,into second is getting worse!  The trans has 142,000 on it! If
the rpms are a little to high or you are above 15mph before shift it
grinds going in.  Even if you rush a little bit!  You have to wait with
the clutch depressed for it to go into second!  All other gears are OK
though.  The trans fluid was very dirty when changed and the mechanic
said it was GL-5 !!!!!  I changed to Dino GL-4 and it seems to have
gotten a little WORSE.  I don't want to drop this thing, any help?  It
also has some hair line cracks in the housing.  Maybe from my bad drive
shaft vibration :(
