The first thing you should try to do are the adjustments on F:07:01-:02. If you see any lost motion you may have to replace some rubber bushings if they are worn out. Check the fluid level too. Generally if there is a problem with the notorious pin it doesn't affect 4th but it WILL affect 2nd. You don't remove the console, just the plate over the top. Remove the 2 screws towards the rear, the shiter knob, and it may be stuck under the plastic lense in front but with some gentle persuasion it will come out. While you are under the car inspect the motor mounts for cracks, especially the front left one on the tranny.
