No, actually that is not how it works. The syncros were putting in a lot of overtime to keep up with matching the input shaft speed. They simply wore out from the abuse, which they were not designed to take. You can have the same issue in just about any car you do this in. While I'll admit it happened rather quickly on my Z, it was not completely unexpected nor unexplainable.
