I wouldnt say anything definate. The shifter could be out of adjustment but if it is not then it could be synchros but it could also be a bent fork the only real way to know is to get it apart and survey the damage.

Yeah, if it's an aftermarket shifter with adjustable shift stops that could be your problem. The bolts could be in too deep keeping you from engaging the gears fully.

if its a pro-5.0 with the adjustments, then being out of adjustment would keep it from going all the way into gear in the first place, and there would be a massive racket as soon as he started lifting off the clutch.......

there is also only one adjuster on the front, and one adjuster on the back of the shifter, so if the shifter was causing a reverse problem, it would be causing a 1, 3, 5, R problem

I've never used a Pro 5.0 So I don't know about that...

But I know a Billet Plus will kick out of gear if you misadjust the stops, including reverse.
