I just bought my 91 5 speed, and it grinds bad from 1st to 2nd. Any idea what it might cost to have somebody put new synchros in it? how hard is it to do it myself? I haven't messed with manual transmissions much. I'm just trying to figure out if it's worth it to fix it or not.
 
Not sure if this will help but I've been calling around to get prices on a full
M5R2 overhaul and have been quoted from $750 to $1040, assuming only "wear items" need replacing....bearings, synchros, seals, gaskets.

If you do some quick archive searching you'll find a couple pictorials of DIY
M5R2 synchro replacement. I'll try to find them for you.

Cheers
