Sounds like your synchros are bad.

Nah it's a common problem on manual transmission cars. Often it's a result of the driver resting their hand on the shifter during non-shifting activities. This prematurely wears out the synchros, also inproper gear oil can cause them to wear out.

It's a normal wear and tear item on older cars. Sooner or later all manual transmission cars will get crunchy on shifts.
Aside from the "resting on gearshift" bad habit, another bad habit is downshifting at too high a speed, boy-racer style.

Yup your brakes have a lot more braking power than your engine and clutch!

I just got done modifying the same exact type of car this past weekend, and it really purrs and cruises now. I got all my parts off ebay, and all for under $100. I installed an electric centrifugal supercharger ($40 + s/h), a K & N high flow air filter ($7.99 + s/h), and a Floblade which fits right into the intake right before the throttle body to create a vortex causing the air to flow into the cylinders better and allows for a more thorough combustion of fuel and is supposed to be a gas saver. That was $10 + s/h. To install the supercharger, you'd also need to pick up various items such as about 10 feet of 12 gauge wire, some butt cable connectors and a few random odds and ends from the hardware store. It takes a couple hours to install everything mentioned if you know where the relevant parts of your engine are and if you have the right basic tools. Some great performance for not a lot of money! I'm now thinking about putting a performance exhaust on, but I'd leave that installation to the professionals.
