i heard that taking first gear past 20 mph is mad for the transmission. don't take my word for it though..........what's syncros?

depends on how you can shift.

But generally tough time entering gears at high load means your synchros are getting worn. not necessary to replace but don't beat on the trans or it will get worse.
