I hear ya...It's just an uneasy feeling knowing that I possibly accelerated wear on that synchro from the higher rpm (4-5k) shifting

I never heard of this. I thought once the shifter is locked into gear then it wouldn't matter

Google "resting hand on shifter" and lots of info will come up. It was one of the first things I was taught when I starting driving manuals 25 years ago and Im pretty sure it still holds true with todays manuals.
