Double checked everything and can't find any obvious issues. In the first picture you will see the "Second Speed Syncrhonizer Brake" pin that mates to the second speed gear. You can see the tapered portion of the pin, and the hole in the gear. This is the alignment/binding I believe I'm feeling. As long as you take your time and don't force it, the shifting works fine. Everything is back together and time will tell if I continue to have any significant issues.
Thanks,
Will
