2nd Gear Popping Out

89Turbo, ~190,000 miles
Recently 2nd gear has been giving me trouble. It has been popping out of gear under acceleration, usually when I hit a bump or coming out of a corner. When downshifting into 2nd while braking, it often grinds, high pitch sound. This happens when i am above ~25mph and trying to get into 2nd for a turn. If i am patient I can get it into 2nd with no grinding at a lower speed (~15mph).
Also, at high speeds while accelerating i get a very noticible vibration. The vibration only happens when accelerating. Most notable in the 65-80mph range, lower than this it does not stand out as a problem.
I checked the front engine mount as recommended on the BB, but did not see the engine move noticably.
I am hoping it is not transmission time. Funds are low so low to high cost recommendations would be helpful.
Thanks for your input.
