This should be an easy fix.....................
If it went into first and reverse before you removed the top of the Transmission , you need to take it back off. Fool with the Transmission sliding sleeves, there are only two of them, until you find neutral in both. The back sliding sleeve is for reverse, (sleeve to the rear) and first, (to the front) I.E. the one you are having trouble with. The front sleeve is for third and fourth. So, remove the top, put it in neutral, find neutral in both the front and rear sleeve, carefully align the forks in their assigned slot, drop it in place. Bolt it down, I'd only use a couple bolts. Shift it through all the gears, you will or should know if it feels correct. DON'T DRIVE it until you get it right. You could easily blow your Transmission if the gears are mismatched.

Or adjust the way Rob explained how to do it. Then measure the free play, you will find it's VERY close to the measure Grits likes to use .... but more percise.
Besides from some back door communications he can't get it to go into reverse either. He simply missed the fork engagement slot in the slider. I did the same, but caught it right away by threading in a couple bolts and running the transmision through it's gears. OOppps that isn't right and a couple minutes later all way working as it should.
