Wandering 1st gear and grinding

Howdy folks! I have a 97 manual B2300 and within the last week it started acting strange in 1st gear. If I accelerate slow and shift to 2nd it’s fine, but if I stay in 1st the gear lever will move over towards 3rd and grind. I can physically hold it in 1st but it’s a bear. Video attached.

Any thoughts are appreciated!

My phone doesn’t want to upload it. Here is a YouTube link to what it’s doing.
