Synthetic fluid (very "slippery") without the required amount friction modifier is not a good idea. Synchros need friction to work, which is why you're grinding while shifting.
If your fluid has been in the trans for a while, you may want to just change it out anyway. Redline MTL (no additional friction modifier needed) has been getting good reviews. I personally use the Ford synthetic ATF ($$$) with the friction modifier, and the tranny shifts great. Try doing a search, there is a ton of information available on this site.
