To me it looked, that during first engage 5-6 gears shaft was not exactly aligned for engage with selector gears on clutch side shaft, you forced them in, which may have turned a bit clutch side shaft a bit to align, thus understandably the rest, "easier" shifts afterwards, when also non-aligned 5-6 shaft was in right position (which might be depending on luck, when gear shafts/clutch shaft stops, at which position, sometimes at one where all gears are easy to shift into, sometimes not).

What i'd check for problems, when car is actually driving (with engine obviously running), how gear engages on upshifts/downshifts, for normal shifts, with gear at a time, are easy or not, and obviously to check/compare that against other twin. That is when one needs to evaluate if it does it's job fine, if synchros do their job fine and such.

Thanks for the input!

But you're response was a little bit over my head. Sorry I'm new to the car scene and I have a general understanding of what is happening, but not exactly. But the resistance does occur when the engine is running as well. So what I got from your response is that the shaft was not aligned properly, so it gives resistance when going into a set of grouped gears. Once I go into them though the shaft aligns, which makes it 'easier'. So if this were the problem, how would I resolve something like this?
