At this point, the car is not totally useless, it just is tough to get into 2nd gear on the first try sometimes. The car is "new" to me with about 60,000 miles. The first few times it happened, I questioned my shifting abilities, although I've pretty much driven manual transmissions exclusively for all of my driving years (about 20)!

Try changing the front engine mount first, if it hasn't been done yet.
Some people notice easier shifting from first to second after replacing the engine mount.
