It is no harsher than a normal high rpm shift.....you are still disengaging and engaging the clutch like you normally would. As such, the synchros operate the exact same. If you are worried about trans and synchro wear then don't rev up past 5k...
I think part of my problem was I did it getting on the highway and shifted before the top of the rpm line.. so it went all the way up to 6,500 then I let the clutch out and it slammed pretty hard on the entire drive line. I think I just need to come to terms with, I'm going to break sh!t and then I will fix it. I may be babying the thing too much. Maybe it can handle more abuse than I give it credit for too.
