I did! I replaced my 5th, reverse synchronizer slider and gear assembly. 5th works great now which was why I had it apart. It grinds going into reverse half the time now even if I wait a few seconds with the clutch depressed before going in. If I put the car in 5th gear then into reverse it goes in fine.
The synchronizer assembly came out of one of my old trannys that I remember I had issues going into reverse! Wish I would have remembered that prior to using the reverse parts. Anyways, the synchronizer for reverse is in perfect shape. Would you say its possible I have a binding issue with my input shaft being that I forgot to install the dust shield and that I need that extra clearance? I have absolutely no problems in any other gear and engagement of the clutch feels normal.
I could re-install the original reverse synchronizer and gear and see what happens I guess, but I hate to pull that thing apart again. What are your opinions?

Good news is that I'm not afraid of working on transmissions anymore and I did fix the problem I sought to fix! Too bad I created a new one!
