Car wont go into 2nd

Hola, I have a 2004 rx8 and for the past week, it doesnt want to go into 2nd gear . Once I get going and stop later on and take off it gets easier to get into 2nd . It doesnt make grindin noises or anythang, it just doesnt want to go into 2nd . Wondering if anyone may know why ? Clutch? Transmission? You have to pull pretty hard to get it into 2nd.

Have a dealer check it out. There have been a few problems reported with shift forks and clutch pressure plates.

Change the gear box fluid and it may go away.

Change your gear fluid if not have a dealer look at it and tell them the shifter fork is messed up probably bent. Then get a stainless steele clutch line so at high RPM and fast shifting it won't happen again.
