Default 6speed Richmond gearbox problem

Hello

I have install a brand new Richmond 6speed Rod gearbox (http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku )in my 69.But my problem are that 5 gear will not slide in so good,the other gears slide in very well.I have looked at the shifter and its seams to be all right.Is that some one who have hade the same problem?

Look under the car at the shifter mechanism. The horizontal bar that controls the 5th/6th shifter slides back in 5th and may be contacting the crossmember or parking brake pulley.
