Subject: sticking gears

Volks,
Just got my bus back on the road after an engine swap.  It's been sitting
for
awhile (four months or so).  The past couple of times I've driven it, it's
been somewhat difficult to shift: easy to get in and out of first/second;
takes more effort than usual to get out of third/fourth; and gets stuck in
reverse almost always.  I've ended up rocking it out of gear when I've been
stuck in reverse.
160,000 miles on the tranny; shifted like butter before it sat.
Suggestions?
