I had the same problem with my -83 mod. 99. It wasn't the sync. that was gone, but a rubber''cushioner'' that sits on the gear leaver arm (rod between gearbox and shifter, if you will). Same noise as bad syncros, but a lot cheaper to fix. You will find it on the right side of the enginecompartment, near the torpedowall. Sometimes when it gets old, dry and cracked, it will not put the fifth gear all the way, thus the heartbreaking noise. Good luck
