Default bad snychros..is it bad for the gears??

i have bad synchros in 2nd and 3rd gear. they both kinda went out at the same time. i am having a hard time shifting anywhere above 4000 into 2nd i have to do it really slowly and it is still kinda hard. what i want to know is if it is bad that every now and then the gear grinds since the synchros are bad. i cant get it fixed for another 2 months and want to know if i am messing anyhting else up. let me know. thanks alot

dam sounds like the problem i have right now ,
my passenger side axle makes alot of noise
and my steering wheel shakes alot when i go over 90mph
so i just bought a axle at pep boys life time replacement
then i just ordered

hopefully it will stop the noise and the shaking

yeah i cant tell which axle it is coming from. feels like both or somewhere in the middle. i just bought new axles and half shaft. hopefully that solves it. but now i need to fix the tranny!!

my friend has the same exact problem but his motormounts were shot so get this looked at too..because the shop said that could be problem..has gettin like 5 inches of engine movement inside the bay and your only supposed to have like 1..another weird thing is he has the problem with the transmission as well but they dont think that has anything to do with it.
