I don't know what you are talking about with the syncros going quickly...I have had an 86 9KT 5 speed go for 215K with out the slightest syncro trouble. I think that the problems you are having are associated with a poor/old clutch. This is caused by broken springs in the clutch. The friction surface may be in great shape (I had the original clutch after 199,000 miles.) But it is pretty easy to break the springs with a couple of bad/hard shifts. This will cause slow shifting.
As for doing the conversion the parts listed seem correct. I have done two of these, but only to 86 and 87 models. It isn't much harder than doing a clutch job. The only added problems are the pedals and shifter, but if you have the parts this can be done in a couple of hours.
