Default Tranny Fluid... Easier to shift?

My 2nd gear syncro is bad, and i have to pull back on the shifter when letting out the clutch into 2nd gear, otherwise it will just pop out. Well when the trans is cold, it shifts fine. If i used a lower viscosity trans fluid would it shift easier when hot? Because after it gets real warm, it doesnt want to shift at all and i cant afford a rebuild right now.
