Manual Transmission - New Problem after rebuilding T56 (IDEAS?)

I recently finished rebuilding my t56. I was having difficulty changing into third and fourth gears. I found all fork pads to be worn so I replaced them along with the 1-2, and 3-4 synchros along with a steel 3-4 fork. I reassembled the tranny and went through all of the gears testing them before reinstalling it. Now I have a problem going into 1st and 2nd gears. When the car is parked I can put it in any gear I wish but after coming out of reverse or when downshifting sometimes it seems to lockout both gears. Anyone ever had a similar problem or have any ideas.

Did you line the blocker rings up with the keys on the syncro assemblies?

I think I did but i really dont remember. The car had been sitting on jackstands for so long I was ready to drive again and I may have overlooked it being in a hurry.

I'd say it's either something to do with your blocker rings or your shifter rails
