No it won't be that bad, its just gonna get harder to get into gear. If I remember right there is a syncro for each gear, correct me iof i'm wrong, so all you would lose is 3rd. But the trans probally is not too healthy though, posibly metal chips in there, cause of the bad syncro and grinding gears.

A little info on a manual trans for ya..
believe it or not when you shift into a new gear 1-2, 2-3, etc. you are not moving or sliding any of the gears in the tranny. You are only moving the sychros. When the syncros get slid over the lock the shaft to the gear you want and allow the power to be transmitted. Yep all the gears are in constant mesh and rotate freely on the output shaft. So if one gear is grinding it is the sychro teeth rinding into mesh. Basically the friction ring/cone is not sychronizing the speeds properly between the gear being selected and the ouput shaft. Thus when the foced all the way over the teeth that lock the unit togeter clash and GRIND.
So time for a synchro.
How long will it last as is who knows. Watch racing and some people have a bad trans got 2 laps or dye in the pits and other finish races. You may find that you loose 3rd altogether. You friction cone seems to be the problem.
