Hi and welcome to the site, I had this problem when I first got my 300GD where it gets stuck in either 1st or 2nd especially when trying to change fast. Had to get under and physically move the connecting rods ( 3 off ). When I got home I adjusted the connectors ( took up all play ) and it's been fine ever since. I think there is a set procedure for adjusting them which involves lining up holes in the lever arms and I'm sure someone with a manual will confirm this for you. Worth checking this as it won't cost you a penny and it's very straight forward and not complicated at all. Have fun. have a look at this link http://www.gwoa.co.uk/node/827t=
