Sounds like you have either shift fork bent or what we call the second gear problem, which means the drive dogs on the gears are rounded and pop out of gear. When the dogs get rounded and it starts to pop out of gear (or sometimes slips out then re-engages) previous owners have been know to try and hold it in with the shifter and end up bending a fork... The gear set can be removed without splitting the case and can be repaired with a Dremel and a 12 pack.
