The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Trouble shifting into 2nd or 3rd- BUT.. Unique situation

I have a similar issue on occasion with shifting up into second in my 29 Tudor. If I push the gear shift lever hard to the far right and then up, sometimes it doesn't go. However, If I'm more gentle and push up just MM's before far right, it goes everytime. Double-clutching also helps, but in traffic sometimes I feel pressured to get into 2nd quickly so as not to get rear ended.

Never any trouble with Reverse, 1st, or 3rd, or downshifting from 3rd to 2nd, or starting in 2nd when rolling downhill.
