Transmission problem
1989 Toyota Camry 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual

i recently removed the engine and transmission so i could repair and oil leak on the top seal where the timing belt is located and all so replaced clutch plate and disc. after i put it all back together, i cranked the car up and then put the shift in reverse and it stuck in reverse and the 0 on the crank/cam shaft which i think the belt mite need to be aligned again, is not aligned where it should be. what can i do

Check that the two selector cables are installed correctly and the shifter quadrant in the cabin is ok, as for the valve timing check as per pic.
