Ok this is how you tell. Turn the car on and put it in nuetral on a flat surface with the e brake off. Without touching the clutch just start to push you shifter into gear to where it starts to catch. If it grinds the synchros are shot but if it starts to move foward then youre good.

No. If it doesnt then ur dynchro is shot. Put it slowly into gear without going all the way, Just like youre touching it and you should have some resistance.
