I have not put it into the 914 box yet (it's not due for a gear oil change). I probably wouldn't be putting it into the 914's gearbox even if I weren't selling the car because I am not having any problems aside from the "normal" 914 caveat of no speed shifting.
I switched over in the 924S because I was getting 2nd gear "lock-out" on cold mornings in the middle of winter.
I will say that if using synthetic causes your synchros to stop working effectively, then there was a pre-existing condition in the transmission that was almost certainly being masked by very, very dirty gear oil. before synthetic was put in.
