Greetings Dave!
I take it your tranny is a SM318 three speed. This is a very simple transmission, and repairs are pretty straight forward. Anyone with a degree of mechanical acumen can fix one of these transmissions. The SM420 four speed is just as easy to fix except for the fact that it is bulkier, heavier, and more clumsy to work with. And to answer your question, your diagnosis of a bad snychro would be pretty accurate. It's not really tragic, it's just an annoyance of popping out of second gear.
