Mine has never been keen on 2nd gear when cold (from 30k miles to 120k now). I would agree with eugene in suspecting your synchromesh has gone - try double declutching?

As I understand it you send Ashcroft your old box and they send a reconditioned one with an upgraded 2nd gear. I didn't know this service existed but I think I know where I'll be going if mine ever needs replacing.

Just got a recon one for the 90 cost me £517.50 including the carriage and thieving Government bit, Not the cheapest but in my opinion the best as I also have one in my RR. You may also need a new transfer gear and bearings  about £75.00
