what symptoms are you having, quite often you can improve things with some adjustments without having to swap the synchros which might save you some time and money.

At the moment i am experiencing a few scratches into 2nd, i got a heavier shift knob and that seemed to alleviate (a little bit) of the grinding, but i still get scratches, and also out of curiousity, i am a quart low on oil, is it bad to redline, i normally check the oil every so often, but this time it slipped my mind, i only did a 1-4 pull at the track with the oil right above the low mark. Thanks

It's about a quart. Keep it topped off.

Change your transmission fluid first before you start ordering syncros. Try Penzoil/GM Syncromesh or Amsoil MTF.

You likely don't need synchros. Check your clutch fluid if it is dark and the reservoir is dirty swap out the fluid and clean out the reservoir, do a couple flushes over the course of a few days. Check the clearance on the clutch rod and close it up if it is more than a 1\4 inch, it's a simple adjustment done under the dash. While you are underdash feel around with your hand in the area of the clutch rod and see if you feel any clutch fluid dripping down there as you may have a leak. If you do have a leak swapping to new clean fluid can often stop the leakage, otherwise you may have a bad clutch mc. How old is the tranny fluid ?, consider swapping out the tranny fluid if it has more than 7,000 miles on it with Honda MTF2. For about $20 in fluids and a free clutch rod adjustment you might be able to solve your problems rather than spending a ton of money opening up the tranny.

Never run the car in hard driving conditions with the oil near the Low mark , you risk oil starvation issues which can scuff a cylinder. Topping oil off is the easiest thing to do on the car, check it regularly - once a week, and definitely before any track day.
