No personal experience but I have read that Redline MTL or Heavy Duty Shockproof (Dale calls it "The Green ****") has cured many transmissions of grinding and eased shifting.

Yeah Redline may do the trick or replace the synchro. My car started to do that and Redline has fixed it for about 2,000 miles now.
