The synchro is the least expensive part of the repair--you have to drop the gearbox, open it, remove the 4th and 5th gears from the shaft, and then reassemble it. I would expect it to be no less than 8 hours labor to do that, assuming there are no other problems. It may be cheaper to just get a used gearbox and have the shop do a remove & replace instead.
