This happened to me as well.

The high dollar, big reputation P-car shop in Columbus OH wanted to overhaul 915 for 4 large

the problem was in the rear coupler adjustment. if the shaft pulls away from the coupler even a MM or two, you'll hit the back of the shiftgate insted of engaging second. push the shaft a mm or two closer to the coupler and see if you get 2nd. Do not fool with ;ateral adjustment. If if works tighten it up and run around the block to see if all the other gears work right too. If not, there's a good description in Bentley. My extra hint is to put a bungee cord on your shiftlever and attach the other end to the doorpull or something outside, so it holds it in neutral, full left.
