At what speed, or rpm in 6th?

Are you at least trying to rev-match?

i have seen several 6 speeds that have needed syncros, cheapest bidder is my guess. but abuse can cause this as well. stop forcing it, and get it repaired.

Nope, and the reason is that my tranny has only five gears.
The MT82 6-speed tranny has a reputation for being problematic and it does sound like your 5th gear synchro may be worn.
