gear change and box issues

just working through the wiring loom and correcting each circuit in turn(so far the starter circuit the hazard warning circuit and the reversing lights have all had faults)and have come across the inability to get the gear box into reverse to see if the reversing light switch would work.
on removal of the switch it works ok but cannot seem to get the box into reverse gear.It is a new box and a little stiff should I wait until I have engine running to shake those cogs? and am I correct in thinking the gear stick should be forward and to the left to achieve reverse (audi six speed box) this equates to pulling out the shaft at the box to the right and anti clock wise rotation
I had the box professionally modified but its my understanding that this only envolves lengthening the shaft and fitting a new oil seal into the reversing switch mount.
has any one else had problems with this part of the build
