The car won't go into 2nd gear. It either grinds or immediately pops out. I have to shift from 1st to 3rd. Does the whole tranny have to be replaced or is there an easy fix? Maybe some kind of linkage problem?

Sounds like a bad shift fork, replacement is a possibility. Try a wrecking yard for the transmission. Call (619)444-2290 and talk to John or Sean.
