I tried synthetic and swear at it, not by it.

The dealership put Saab synthetic in both of my rebuilt '91 9kt trannies, with 2nd gear grinding as a result each time. The first time, grinding occurred after 2000 miles, the second, after 7000. It occurred on the 1-2 shift, never with downshifting, and especially if the 1st gear revs exceeded 4500 rpm. I agree that immediate grinding after putting in new synthetic probably indicates pre-existing synchro wear.
Eriksson is now recommending that pre-94 trannies have dino. Mine wasn't the only tranny they had trouble with, after synthetic was used.
