6 speed conversion on 2008

My 5 speed died in my 2008, so I decided to replace it with a 6 speed with 87k. Everything installed without issue and the car drives fine, except that I cannot keep it in 6th gear. As soon as I accelerate it pop itself into neutral. I am assuming that I got a trans with possibly a bad synchro, but figured I would see if anyone experienced this or if anyone knows of something else that may cause this

What gear oil are you using, does it have enough?
Are the shiftier bushings in good shape, and the cable isn't bunching up?
Is there any grinding?
