i think my second gear syncro has stop working . i have to rev mach to get it to go in with out grinding .. anybody kno how hard/expensive it is to fix this?

 
b 4 u tear into the gearbox make sure it isn't the clutch first. sometimes with a cable actuated clutch the cable stretches and can be re-adjusted so that clutch fully disengages so it won't crunch on shifts.

if it's a hydraulic clutch and it's OK then yes it's probly synchro. this is a specialist job, there are several vendors on here who can handle the work.

 
its a 95 impreza outback . its not the clutch as it doesn't bother in any other gears and it only bothers on up shifts when the rpms are to high to match . if i wait a second and let the rpms fall it goes in smooth .

If I remember right you did the 1.8L to 2.5L swap. If I shift at high rpms and do it quickly my syncros/gears grind a little bit. I think the 1.8 trans just doesn't like the quick high revving shifts.

If it hurts, don't do that.

It's an old car, it's not a race car (I never said it couldn't be a rally car). Be nice to it.

Things wear out when they get old, it'll still last a long time if you don't slam it into 2nd every time you shift.

While I've never did a Suby trans, the syncros are cheap and easy. The labor removing and disassembling the trans combined with the tools needed (some kinda press) were my troubles. I ended up making a couple trips to the trans shop to use their press since I didn't have one but it was still wayyy easy.
