What type shifter do you have in the car? It’s hard to be certain from your description but I would suspect the shifter needs to be adjusted so that the neutral gate is aligned correctly. If the transmission shifted cleanly before then it should still unless the shift linkage is misaligned. Just unbolting it and re-bolting it back to the transmission, even if care is taken to not change any of the rods, can cause subtle changes in the neutral gate alignment that will create shifting issues.
