Yes that is your synchro going bad. You could try changing the transmission fluid. If it hasn't been done in a while, it could keep the synchros from doing their job. But most likely, the synchro is worn out.

Carbon Caosted synchros are worth it. Redoing my transmission yeilded a 1/2 second drop in my 1/4 mile at Gateway.
