Syncro problems are usually related to grinding when shifting, etc. If it's not staying in a gear then you may have lost one or more of the three spring loaded keepers that maintain the syncro posistion - unfortunately no amount of expensive gear oil will help with that. It could be something wrong with your shifter linkage also - I would check all your bushings, etc. Slop in them might be causing you to not get it into gear far enough.

The clutch cable would not be related. The gear selection is entirely internal except for the linkage rod that goes to the shifter.
