Manual trans won't shift

hey peeps.
i gotta 93 f150 XL it has a 4.9L and a T18 borg Werner trans.
i replaced the clutch,throw out bearing, pressure plate and pilot bearing and after reinstalling trans I am unable to go through my gears.

if truck is off I can shift into some gears sometimes but not without a lot of resistance. Also some gears will let me in easy, then fight me as I try to back into neutral.

truck starts right up but if I start in neutral I can't shift into any gears and get a lot of grinding when I try to put it in gear.

if I start in gear it drives in the gear but I have to force back into neutral.
