The other thing is that when it would only go into 5th I could take it out of 5th and into N but only N right below 5th, if that makes any sense. I couldnt move the shifter side to side, only front to back into 5th or into N right below 5th.

The wave washer (spring) could be messed up down where the fulcrum ball sits in the tranny case. You'll have to take apart some things to check that...

As for it not going into R I know that sometimes you have to let the clucth out a touch to get it to slip in, and yes I know about the lockout, it was hitting the lockout, and no matter what I did I couldnt get around it, shifted into every gear and then tried R, nothing, shift into 4th then to R, nothing etc.... so I dont know what is wrong.

Your shift fork could be bent/binding/ready to break. Not sure. I would get this checked out professionally. Also, if the clutch is not fully disengaging (like if your slave cylinder is bad), all sorts of weird shifting problems can occur.
