I have 90K on my tranny, doesn't grind at all (as long as I push the clutch in all the way  ) and I was planning on doing a drain and refill on Saturday.
Per DemonSVT:
Synth
Redline MTL
Penzoil Syncromesh
Ford Honey (but it's $$$)
Dino - syncro problems already
ATF+3 or ATF+4
ATF will never protect like a gear oil will but if you have issues already you don't want to use synthetic.

Some of the guys here were talking about adding friction modifiers, would I have to do any of that if I use Redline or penzoil?

OK, so if I already have synchro problems I DON'T wanna use synthetic like Redline MTL, right?

What about Royal Purple's ATF fluid?? Has anyone used that, or heard if its good or not? 
Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.

The final clarification:
For RedLine MTL do I add friction modifier or not?

A fluid IS NOT going to change the physical wear of an existing bad synchro/blocker ... it might change the degree of you feeling the problem, but the problem will still exist. Get the tranny serviced and use synthetic from the start.

Redline MTL already has FM in it so you do not have to add it.
