Fresh 904 skips 2nd gear

UPDATE!!!


So it took a while..but with the holidays..and family obligations/emergencies...the servo has been replaced....second gear shift snaps you neck in to place..and it appears my problem was 2 fold. The plunger rod...definitely askew ...but the upper cup gasket failed in a spectacular fashion.
Many many thanks to Duster346. You are certainly a gentleman...and scholar. I will be purchasing all my future trans needs from you.
