The old addage of "if it ain't broke - don't fix it" may apply here.
Switching to synth. after years of dyno. may actually cause leaks and symptoms similar to what your mechanic described. Over time, Dino oil sets in the seals and coats the warn parts. Adding synth. will cleanse the dino deposits thus creating gaps around the seals, causing leaks, and synchro problems.
Just keep the fluid CLEAN by checking it routinely and changing as necessary - @35-40k miles.
Good luck,
SS
