My 96 gt grinds on occasion when I shift into 2nd at high RPM's. It doesn't do it unless I push it though. I've seen people say it's my synchro. Also when I'm fixing this issue could I fix the common issue where I grind shifting into reverse?

It does sounds like a synchro (common), also the reverse sounds like a hydraulic clutch problem(not sure if mustangs even have them). maybe even the clutch?
I don't think that it has a hydraulic clutch, but I guess I'm not positive. Also I have to shift up into 5th and straight down into reverse so it won't grind, if that helps at all.
 
for grinding going into gear at high rpms, its not too big of a deal. but it could turn into one. if money was no object id get a used tranny, new clutch, and a short throw. but im sure you could find a good deal on some of that used under about 500-800
