The bolts will prevent from full engagement if they are to close to the shift lever so make sure they are far enough away as to not block the lever. You could have bent the linkage or shift forks, but I'm not sure how you would check those. I never messed passed the shifter so far. To me it sounds like your not getting full engagement for some reason.

yea thats what im thinking.....i have an extra pro 5.0 shifter i might try and if it isnt that then it has to do with the trans itself....i heard that 5 and 6 gears shift forks are in the tailshaft? is that true and how much you think it would cost to replace those

With stock (3.42) gears and a .5 6th gear ratio, you should be somewhere around 1500RPM at 70MPH. If its higher than that, then you either have reeeeaally small tires, an aftermarket trans, or a different rear end gear ratio.
