Speaking of syncros I think mine are going but I am not sure. Like all the bottom gears: 2, 4, and Reverse have a hard time staying in gear(especially 4th). Like I'll shift to 4th, be riding down the road and it falls to neutral. Is this syncros. Sorry to jack your thread man, but I think it has some relevance.

The problem you're describing sounds more like bearings. The syncros only do something when you shift. Test it by putting into gear.Smoothly accelerate then abruptly let off the gas. It should pop into neutral if your bearings are messed up.
