What year car and how many miles? If it is under 3 years old and 36000 miles, take it to the closest dealer and tell them "I don't know what happened, but it's acting funny, can you guys take a look at it and correct the problem". It's not important why or how it broke, so don't tell them. If it's over that....check with D&D performance.

It's not the syncros, but they will have to be replaced. You will also need the complete syncronizer assembly and the shift fork. You should get a steel one from a Viper.

This is a very common problem with t-56.I wouldnt get rid of the car over that.Use the warranty that you payed for,dealers are required to work on your car per franchise agreement.I did the opposite traded 99 tahoe for 2000 ss,not a suv person I guess.
