It really isn't the syncros, but the actual dog teeth that if one does not fully engage 2nd gear, and plant the gear correctly. The dog teeth will get rolled/worn off. It is down hill from there and it will require more effort to jamb the gear in place.. The transmission design has been around since the mid '80's.. There are some very good independant shops that can fix these gear boxes.. Look at the bright side, if you are tracking your car, you can re-gear your box for about the same money as Porsche wants to fix it..
