If it was sitting up a while the syncros may just be a bit gummy.
An old trick we used to use was to put it up on jacks, drain the tranny. fill it with denatured alcohol* carefully with vehicle properly jacked, braced, blocked, etc, fire it up and put it in gear and run it a bit at idle to circulate the alcohol.
Shut it off.
let it sit a bit and do it a few more times, then drain it out ( and leave drain and fill plugs open for awhile after draining, alcohol residue will evaporate ) and refill with fresh synthetic( OK Amsoil dealer...shameless plug)oil and see what happens
