teethgrinding noises from gearbox

Quite recently the gearbox of my '73 Sonett started to act funny. When I shift back and engage the clutch again I hear very worrying noises only to be described as "teethgrinding". There is no powergrip on the wheels either. After revving the engine up a bit things seem to engage and there is power on the wheels again. It specifically occurs in 2nd gear. It seems that I can avoid it in 3rd by holding the gearlever firmly forward until the clutch is fully engaged again. In 2nd the trick doesn't work so well. Are the synchromesh rings falling apart, are the selector forks getting thin or is there something else in the secret innards of the gearbox that may have the same effect ?
Calling all the gearbox experts !!!
