Will not shift into 2nd gear

Hello,
I have a 98 986 vehicle will not shift into 2nd gear and sometimes has a hard time going into 1st as well.
Back story was was driving in 5th at a high rate of speed them downshifted straight to 2nd and destroyed 2nd ( long story prefer not to explain or get any lectures)
Brought the car to a friend of mine to get the transmission rebuild
Changed the clutch to a stage 1 clutch kit from Pelican parts.
Changed 1st and 2nd syncro, the 2nd gear, the hub and the sleeve.
Re-installed and drove it for a day and half. In that day i notice the transmission was having a hard timr getting into 1st when stopped a light from nuetral and into 2nd when driving. You needed to put some force on the shifter or needed to shift into 3rd then shift back into 1st when in nuetral and it would engage into 1st.
2nd gear you needed to shift slow into it but it was still a hard shift...
We rebled the clutch didnt do anything
I was driving sloftly with the car as we just rebuilt everything but on the 2nd day i couldnt get into 2nd gear at all seemed like it would just go in half way or 3/4 and just woukd go any further like somthing was stopping it from moving than half inch it needed to drop into
Changed out part of the rear shift linkage as we noticed one of the arms were bents.
Seemed to shift better into 1st 3rd 4th and 5th R but still cannot get it into 2nd gear at all.
Any ideas or solutions or if you have had a simliar problem with the 5 speed gear box let me know
It has been a year and a half and over 5k in parts and labour...
Please help
