Unhappy Bad blocker rings? Or clutch problem?

All right guys I just recently had a post about my car not shifting under WOT. I replaced the master about 60 miles ago and did the drill mod at the same time. Had a clutch(spec 2+) put in the car about 900 miles ago, and when I hit the 500 mile mark I went to row threw the gears, and couldnt get it into 3rd easily. So after I finally get it into third I try to hit 5th at around 6200RPMS and it wont go into 4th for nothing at that speed. So when I get it into 4th I wind it out and try to hit 5th and same thing happens . So what I'm getting at is there anyone who has any idea what could be the problem? T56 rebuilds is having free shipping this month but I really dont want to send it out unless I have to. Oh yea this didnt start until I got this new clutch in. Even with the old slipping clutch I could shift WOT fine. So new clutch new slave when clutch was installed, new master about 90 miles ago, mityvaced the system, no air, great pedal feel(still a stiff for a spec 2+), can grab second fine, but its a no go from 2-3,3-4,4-5. Any ideas guys? Oh yea the tranny was rebuilt less than 10K with new blocker rings, shift rails and all the good stuff. I'm leaning towards maybe a bad pressure plate? Sorry so long guys just trying to give out all the info I can.....Any help would be great guys!

Yea I think it might be my blocker rings, which are the synchro's right? If I'm sitting still and run through the gears a few times and then take it down the road and go through the gears and it will shift fine, and then drive around for a little while and try and run through the gears and you cant hit any gear and grind 2nd - 5th its just weird. So I'm going to just send it off and have them look at it.....
