First and second gear are the first to give problems with a failing coupler. The coupler is situated in the selector rod above the transmission. Get someone to move the gear lever from side to side as far as it will go while you watch the coupler. Failure will be obvious as the gear lever side will move more than the transmission side.
The part is cheap and it isn't difficult to do it yourself. Nor is it very expensive to get someone else to do. A stop-gap (that some people have had in place for years without problems) is to wrap some nylon cable-ties around the coupler and pull them tight. See the link below for more detail.
