I had a problem getting into any gear, but now I fixed it after tranny removal- new fork,shimmed ball,tob. Welded pedal assembly and I have all the bushings under the console and under the hood (metal). They help but I think you just need to adjust your cables if you can get into any gear except 5th and reverse.
My reverse is tough and I know QPR had a problem getting it in to reverse but I got used to it I guess
