915 transmission - synchro or linkage.

Hi folks

so here I am... an absolute newbie and keen and in need to learn on any level...
Just got a "new" 1977 911s Targa (Miss. B) with standard 915 transmission which is a bit reluctant on its 2nd gear.
In standstill all gears enter without troubles but when driving and shifting into 2 (up or down) the gear tends to pops out, or need a slight hand pressure to stay in, grinding can occur but is not always the case. Also from 10 changes 3-4 might go in nice and smooth. What I have noticed is that if one changes gear bellow 1000RPM all goes fine, no troubles...
So what would be your analysis... Tuning of shifting linkage or worn out synchro/dog tooth?

Thank you for sharing your wise know-how.
See you soon guys!
