If I remember right the shifting arms of those earlier trannys use splines so the arms can be located anywhere on the splined shaft. Your sure you got all the arms back on the shafts just as they came off? It sounds like your pretty sure you did.

The poles that the levers are connected to do indeed have splines, and before taking the levers off the poles I cleaned the surfaces and with a sharpie made a mark going from the pole to the lever, then when reconnecting the levers I did my best to match the marks, thus putting back on the way it came off. Worst case scenario is that I may have moved the levers forward of back one or two splines while reinstalling, but that shouldn't cause that much of a difference in the rods and levers lining up should it? But then again I cant think of any other explanation.

If you are sure the rods are correct and you didn't adjust any of them...now if the shifter is in natural as is the tranny..You should be able to see if the rod ends fit into the arms. If not adjust the arm on the shaft (keeping track where it was). There has to be some parts of the puzzle that you know are correct then the rest falls into place.
