Did you take it apart?

I expect that when you installed and tightened the shift console, the "rake" didn't line up in the fork slots. I'd take the nuts off and pull it out and re-install, makeing sure that the rake can move in and out.

If you pulled apart the shaft to replace the shaft seal, make sure that you put it back together properly. There are 4 ways, but only 1 is correct. The teeth should point in the same direction as the shift ball (17). And the rake (14) the longer part should point towards the colsole (10).

On the transmission of a side shifter, the alignment portion is entirely on the shift forks, not on the shift console. When you pull the console back out, look inside the hole. You will see the shafts for each fork (parts 1,2&3). Make sure that it is in neutral by verifying that the slots in the shafts are lined up. If not, use a large screw driver to line them up. It take a bit of force to move them. Oh, and if you put 2 in gear, it locks the transmission up.
