Sorry but it sounds like the trans needs to come out and be repaired or rebuilt.If all other gears work then 2nd gear obviously has the problem. You really should have it fixed before any kind of debris in the trans causes more damage

Remove the transmission and repair or rebuild it. Second gear is the likely failure, and it should be fixed before debris causes further damage.
