Default Re: 1st gear is slightly jammed

I would wonder how well it shifts into reverse? The 1st/Reverse sliding gear may be a bit tight on the shaft splines. The clutch can affect gear loading if not completely disengaged (as was mentioned). Is your clutch the single plate type? How much tension has the shift shaft detent ball spring?

Sometimes new replacement parts do not always meet the specifications of the original Ford parts.
