Reverse gear - effort to engage

[fanaticrom]

Hi!
Just changed the clutch on the car (went for OEM). Something strange happened with the reverse gear.
All other gears work impeccable, but in order to engage reverse I need to push very hard to the right before pushing forward. It feels like I am pushing in a spring with very high resistance.
It wasn't like that before.

Any advice?
Thanks.

There is a solenoid that locks out reverse that is based on speed. It's spring loaded so you can push through it in emergencies, but it sounds like maybe you have a loose plug or something. Normally it's supposed to open under 3-5 mph I believe. Guessing when you dropped the trans that maybe one plug didn't get fully seated again.
