Hey guys, so my 07 with 62k miles got a new transmission from z1motorsports and it was installed today. I know at first it will feel tight, which it did, but then I noticed something awkward. With the engine off or on and clutch in (car is idle), if I go through the gears semi fast, 5th doesn't go in. Every other gear is fine. However, if I go through the gears at idle slower then 5th slides right in. While driving 5th has no problem going in. It's a not problem, but I'm wondering if it's normal? Thanks in advance

I wouldn't expect that you could easily shift the transmission into every gear every time you tried when the engine is off. There's always a chance the parts that mesh won't line up exactly right.
With the engine running, there's a slight amount of drag in the clutch and pilot bearing. It's usually (but not always) enough to keep the transmission input shaft turning slowly, so it's more likely (but still not guaranteed) that you'll be able to shift into all the gears easily.
As long as the transmission shifts properly when you're driving the car in the normal manner, I wouldn't worry about it.
