You may need to adjust your shift linkages using the turnbuckles. You should see them when you take the shift plate off. Also, you may want to replace the shift bushings near the tranny. They are fairly easy to get to and a DIY is floating around here. I did that and replaced them with the skateboard bearings and it REALLY tightened up my shift pattern.
