probs with gt4

i bought my beautiful gt4 about 2 days ago and last night when i tried to chnage from 1st to 2nd, i couldnt go into 2nd gear.. ive since released that none of the gears on the bottom of the H pattern work.. ie i cant use 2,4 or reverse gears. However all the other gears(1,3,5) are working perfectly as if nothing is wrong
when i put the gear stick in the slot that would usualy mean it is in 2nd gear it feels as if there is no resistance against the gear stick or in the transmission
Also immediately after i realised 2nd gear wasnt working i pulled over.. 10 secs later i attempted to drive off again and for whateva reason the gears were all working fine again as if nothing had happened at all.. the car was fine for the next 2 hours of driving and i was beginning to thnk that it had just jumped out somehow but on my way home it happened again
this afternoon it worked for about 2kms before once more it all failed again and hasnt come back again
ill be taking it to a mechanic tomorrow.. but can anyone give me an idea of what im in for? or some sort of perspective of whats going on?
Thanks in advance

first thing to check would be the shifter linkages.
get someone to try to put it in each gear and get your head under the bonnet and try to see if the linkages are working. I'm not sure if you'll be able to see it from under the bonnet.. you can in normal celicas.. not sure about the gt4s.
the only reason why i suggest that is because you say it feels like there's no 'resistance'
