Low on gear oil maybe? It will sure act like that when low.

>>Sounds like synchronizers are the problem. Check your oil & clutch
adjustment first. End float on the crankshaft can also give a shift problem
like yours.

Re: Down shifting problem, need advice.
Why would you even attempt to shift into 1 at any speed above 0 (zero)? You
should be using 2nd if you are not going to bother coming to a full stop.
Shift from 4 to 2 or 5 to 2 if you are going to do a rolling stop.
