You need to be patient when skipping gears. Just hang out at the 6th gear gate for a second or so while the RPMs settle down. If you have SRM, this is very simple and just a matter of waiting. If you don't have SRM, you need to time the shift properly to avoid grinding the synchros - shift exactly at the proper RPMs as they are dropping or rev match yourself to get the RPMs in the proper range after they drop.

Synchro replacement requires removing the transmission and taking it apart. Absolutely do not DIY unless you have the proper tools and experience.
