Synchro ring replacement

I have had my '88 Carrera a few weeks now and so far I have replaced some leaky seals, ordered new bushings for the suspension, and ordered parts for the front brakes and suspension.

When the car is cold it is a bit more difficult to shift and it kinda "crunches" into first and second gear (170k miles). I usually double clutch for the first few minutes until things get warmed up a bit and then it isn't much of an issue.

Is this a sign that it needs new synchros? If so, how difficult is it to replace them (1st & 2nd gear)? I have some mechanical ability and I have rebuilt engines in the past but I really don't know anything about transmissions.

Thanks,
Bob
