Leading evidence: 'bent synchro ring' (1 discussions report identifying this cause; no attributable repair resolution). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'bent synchro ring' (1 discussions; 1 report identifying it and 0 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Adjust backlash and the meshing of the gears' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

I did double checked the cable brackets against the before pic yo verify they were correct.

Easy to check cable linkage - jack up passenger side of car and remove rear wheel - make sure supported on jack stand - but easy to crawl under there to see shift linkage at transmission - I used jack handle to push rubber cable connector back into linkage ....

Suggestion
I would assume they adjusted the backlash and the meshing of the gears, so stiff shouldn't be an issue or it would tear itself up.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Outcome without a verified action link
Ummmm, so, we opened it up and you're a dip****, you owe us $XXXX but we fixed it.
Ok, reverse seems to work and I think first is working. Or at least it is a forward gear. Instead of neutral I have a higher gear. Shifter cable issue?

A little more background. I just had the transmission serviced, new LSD, and I just put it back in. So linkage is connected but I'm guessing it's a little off even though I didn't mess with it while the transmission was out. Just not sure how to go about fixing it.
Or I guess it's possible Gbox messed something up while servicing it but I'm more inclined to believe the problem is on my end.
Does it shift without the engine running? If yes, then it might be the PP. We had an instance of that. It would shift without the engine running, but not when running, turned out a pair of fingers were cracked on the outer perimeter of the spring plate. You could just see two fingers out of place at the TO bearing.
Disconnected cables. With forward mechanism seems to be the main selector as hit has three solid positions. None of the positions allow the wheels to spin.
Can you put it in one of the positions where the wheels don't move, cables disconnected and then start car and see if the clutch operates and the wheels slow down?
I did double checked the cable brackets against the before pic yo verify they were correct.
Ok, it's weird. It actually does go into neutral, kinda. If I let out on the clutch pretty quickly with it in neutral it will stand still and idle for 3-4 seconds then the engine dies. If I'm moving in gear, and push the clutch in, the car almost stops on its own, even to the point of bouncing against itself. It's like something is bound up inside. Could it just be the new differential is really stiff?
I would assume they adjusted the backlash and the meshing of the gears, so stiff shouldn't be an issue or it would tear itself up. Is there lube in it?
I put fresh motul gear 300 in it. Pulled it out on the driveway and it's not right. Backed it back on the lift and will call Gbox tomorrow. Going to prep my silver car and take it to the track tomorrow just to scratch the itch.
Definitely an internal issue. After I told Gbox the input shaft wouldn't turn if I was holding the axle stubs, to their credit, they told me to box it back up and had it picked up today at their expense.
late question.....when you installed the transmission did it mate up to the block smoothly or did you have to pull in together by the bolts ? i ask because i have seen a mis-aligned clutch where the input shaft missed the pilot hole jamming up against the flywheel and when they tightened the bolts drove the main shaft into the transmission and ruining it . this came to mind because any re builder would bench test [by hand] every gear before saying its ready
It seemed to go pretty smoothly but I can't swear by it. It would have been on the first time I put it in because the axle hubs weren't free spinning when I was mating the axles to the transmission and I don't have an e-brake (could be stated more clearly but hopefully you eat the point). I may have pulled it the last few mm with the bolts as I didn't know about this issue.
Man, this has me worried. But surely if these are pressed in with a 40ton press that I would have felt significant resistance on the bolts. And yes, this is hopeful thinking as I have almost no knowledge of the tranny innards.
You're working with a good shop. So don't worry, it won't help resolve the issue anyway. One of two things happen when you work with a good shop:
1. Ahhh, we ****ed up. Sorry, here's the transmission fixed.
2. Ummmm, so, we opened it up and you're a dip****, you owe us $XXXX but we fixed it. Don't be a dip**** again, OK dip****? [I'm paraphrasing]
if you did not remove the pressure plate you should be okay BUT with good lighting look at the clutch disc hub [female splines] and make sure it is centered around the pilot hole. I can tell you on many manual transmissions the input shaft's bearing is a very light press fit sometimes not requiring a hydraulic press at all BUT retained by a small snap ring. pushing the shaft off the ring and into the trans by say .050 + and it will be jam city. pulling a trans in with the bolts does happen but usually you get to that sweet spot where it freely couples together with a reassuring "thunk" sound .........bottom line check that clutch alignment................good lord i almost did a 400 word post like you know who
Ya about half a cm. It had made the big push to go right in position and then I checked to make sure the top and bottom were an equal distance out.
I've pulled the tranny from DD and installed it and the car run great.
The speculation brings out great information as always. but like DT said, we'll find out soon enough if it was my inexperience or not.
