Default Possible gearbox rebuild?

When i put my motor into first every once in i while it pops out of first gear when trying to pull away?
Its doesnt feel as positive as the other gears when selecting either.
I have fitted i b&m quick shifter and the gearbox was unused for a couple of years.
I guessing it could be the sincro but any sugessions would be greatful. Cheers

I have never had a chance to test the gearbox before so i dont know

Its the only thing that hasnt been tested, rebuilt or replaced in the intire car so ill be gutted if its knackerd

Will it destroy the gearbox if i use it for a while to run in the engine?

Any idea what a rebuild would cost?
