I have a 1997 Corvette manual transmission problem with second and fourth gear.

I just bought a 1997 Corvette with the intention on replacing the transmission due to second and fourth gears not engaging. I have a little over 120K miles on it. Doing a little research I am getting more confused with the information provided on the forums, etc. In the beginning I bought I just needed to rebuild the transmission but now I am starting to think that the problem could simply be maintenance--more specifically transmission oil change and or differential?
I just have not read any comments specifically to the issues that I here present.
