It sounds to me like you just need to adjust the shifter linkage. 
Your shift pattern is likely a little too close to the driver's side. 
Shifting the pattern towards the passenger side by about one turn on 
the linkage adjustment is probably about all it would take for the 
sifter to slip through the gate cleanly.

The likely reason this occurred is that with your new transmission 
mounts, your tranny is positioned slightly differently relative to 
your shifter and your lingkage needs to be adjusted accordingly.
