Generally, I would say that grinding is the syncros.

I have no clue about the pose

syncros are pretty cheap, but the installation is very expensive/kinda difficult.
There is more than one. I would have a transmission shop look at it before you do anything like that. They are worn down by jamming your shifter around and by downshifting without matching revs.
