Yeah no problem starting in 2nd.The rest of the gears seem fine.Just downshifts to neutral.

If 2nd gear still works, you've likely got a stipped gear. The shift fork stiil moves te gear to 2nd so its not that.

Get ripping it apart to know for sure.

You won't know where to start until you rip it apart. If it everything works BUT 1st gear, you have a transmission problem, and its nothing but 1st gear you need to look at.
