The hub itself feels tight in terms of its own clutch mechanism and yup it feels tight in the springs - but I can move the whole unit up and down the mainshaft which concerns me slightly.
It is a bitBut I reckon when you have done it once, next time becomes much easier! I had my box out 4 times, lol!
And genuine parts...get them if you can afford them!
is reverse lever set on shaft properly allowing full selection ,is it a new reverse ,originally reverse idler needle bearing had a slight twist this helped hold into gear new ones are often straight

too much end float on gears will cause them to jump out ,the bush on 2nd and 3rd is sized to suit between 2 thou and 8 thou at the most, nut on rear of mainshaft not tight will effect 1st , did you fit new balls and springs in synchro unit and are slipper pads right way round,1st/2nd selector shaft is set by leaving hub in neutral and pushing shaft back till the free play in hub goes mark shaft on rear edge of detent drilling,then do the same forwards but mark in line with front edge of drilling,the notch in shaft for detent should be center of those 2 marks adjust to suit same with 3rd /4th, with reverse you ensure idlers fully forward when shaft neutral detent positions align, and again that its fully meshed when notch for rev is aligned with detent
