Overview
Synchro is two cones pressed together until the two shafts run the same speed:
Each gear has a syncho face (external cone) machined with it
The hub is spring loaded so when you move the shifter partway, it presses the baulk ring (internal cone part) against the gear.
When they have slow down to the same speed, the shifter will move all the way in. It happens very quickly, unless the synchros are worn and not working well.
Synchro is basically:
Coupling with hub Baulk rings and gear faces
Coupling with hub. Left: assembled. Right: not assembled
Each synchro set services two gears (arrows). Center arrow points to the Coupling Sleeve
The Coupling Sleeve is what the shifter moves.
56-Series Transmission
4-speed and 5-speed synchronizers are very different See 56-Series_Transmission_Parts#Synchros

60-Series Transmission
B310 with FS5W60L 5-Speed shows this:
Synchro Hub - 1st & Rev Synchro Hub - 2nd & 3rd Synchro Hub - 4th & 5th
For the 4th-5th gear, or 2nd-3rd the coupling is the same part number:
32606-18000 SLEEVE-COUPLING
For the Synchro Hub inside the coupling:
