When you say shift lever I assume you're talking about the part in the cabin. Before you get too deep into synchros, try the low-hanging fruit. Check the shifter linkage on the transaxle too. There are two parts that you should inspect for any looseness and look at the condition of the rubber bushings. There is the shifter itself and a pivot arm on the back. If the rubber here is worn out it might cause what you're describing.
I would recommend changing these parts and using the pieces from only944.com they are high quality and make shifting much more precise than before by eliminating all the rubber back there. Also try a fluid flush, it is cheap and easy to try before doing anything more drastic.
