Default mgw shifter or clutch problem

I have an 2000 Camaro w/t-56 stage 3 monster 5 puck clutch system with a mgw shifter I just recently got it running after blowing the transmission and rear end but now its really hard to put into reverse it takes lots of force where do I start?

Check the reverse lockout solenoid, wiring, and fuse.

From mgw's website they state that their shifters use a heavy centering spring.

My billet hurst has 2 very heavy centering springs, it's strong enough I never wired in reverse lockout on my car
