hard into second gear?

it will be near the weekend before I can get back out to try shifting with the engine off,, but I will

for clairification,, with the engine running the vehicle in motion...
down shifts into 1st with the vehicle rolling are fine
up shifts into 3rd and 4th feel fine

upshifts into 2nd ( from 1st) feels like the shifter gets stuck, I have to give it a tug and the shift handle moves just a fraction and it falls into gear..

for these tough 1st to 2nd up shifts,, as long as I remember to keep the clutch planted until the shift is complete,, no gear grinding...
