transmission shifter problems

I have a 41 l z sedan and shifter won't shift out of first gear sometimes. Once I stop the car and turn off engine it is free again. no problems if you take off in second gear. any ideas short of tearing into tranny. Incidentally the transmission was rebuilt about two years ago with new sync rings.

The difference is with engine running the main shaft is spinning...depress clutch and it will spin but without torque allowing gears to

change..chk the clutch adjustment...The pedal should easily, pinky finger push about 1/4 to an inch easily ..only pedal return spring tension

to resist it. the clutch may not be releasing enough to allow gear pressure to release low gear, which is close toothed non synchronized..
