Since nobody else mentioned it, the front motor mount can cause shifting problem. Also, if the passenger side engine mount has collapsed from age/heat, then it could contribute as well.
If everything else is lined up and perfectly operating, then the 1-2 shift fork could be bent or distorted. I would rule out everything else first of all....and check your shift coupling -- the rubber dogbone might have come apart, or the shift coupling is out of adjustment.
