If the trans problem is as bad as it sounds, I'm confident that a rebuild is going to be needed. There are no sensors that monitor the condition of the syncros in a manual transmission. So a diagnostic scan won't do a damn thing.
On the second problem... it's either fuel or spark that causing the problem. Assuming your spark plugs are in good shape.. I'd run a 1/3 bottle of Sea-Foam fuel system cleaner in your next tank of gas. If the problem persists, I'd check the distributor cap & rotor. Lastly, you could have a dying fuel injector that isn't delivering the right amount of fuel.
Are there any modifications to the fuel system on your motor? And how did you convert from OBD-2 back to OBD-1?
