downshift problem from 3rd to 2nd

hey guys, in my manual tranny 1999 F-250 Superduty. every time i downshift to second gear it grinds and i cant find any way to avoid it. i can avoid grinding it if i just dont downshift past 3rd,eventhough its the best gear for me to slow down. any ideas??

all help will be welcome, thanks

The synchronizer or syncro is inside the tranny. The slave cylinder is for the hydraulic clutch. I could be wrong but since its only affecting the 3 to 2 down shift it would be my guess. No other grinding noises? How old is the clutch?
