Post t56 problems

the t56 in my 96 firebird doesnt like to shift from 1st to 2nd while coasting at around 15-20 mph. it will also occasionaly pop out of 2nd gear. Any ideas?

syncro's!! Very common on the T56 transmisions. Relativly cheap repair.

?

I say it is the slider because once it is in gear the synchros don't do anything. Does it also pop out or grind worse when downshifting?
