Did you try searching on this site for that? It has been discussed quite a bit, and it will help eliminate some troubleshooting for diagnosis

Syncro Problem

I had the same problem with my second gear. would shift fine at low revs but at high revs it would grind for a second before sliding into gear. It turned out to be that my second gear syncro was blown. Hope this helps.
