Did you adjust the clutch pedal for a lower friction point?
Was the transmission out for any reason?
Any sponginess to the pedal (Air in the lines)

Typically Reverse is the first to lock out when your clutch is dragging and not fully disengaged. Reverse is followed closely by first gear being stiff or locking out completely too.

Does it simply resist going in or does it feel like the shift gate isn't there?
My second thought would be the reverse lockout plate on the shifter may be off a little and isn't allowing you to fully reach the reverse gate.
14K miles on the clutch, some resistance going into first but minimal. No adjustments to clutch that I know of, transmission removed for long block replacement (this is when it first started acting up). No sponginess.

It resists going into reverse after I feel the shift gate move, it is possible the reverse lockout plate could have been misaligned during reassembly?

Thank you for the info, greatly appreciated!

I did a quick u turn and nearly stopped traffic while coercing it into reverse to avoid curbing my wheels...I was in a rage after this!
