You probably over-tightened the shift linkage. Try loosening the nut on the bottom of the shift lever a little bit. See if that improves things...

Honestly man, its tough to say the b16 motor is pretty simple. I remember changing my clutch in my vw corrado and i had the same problem. I then looked it over and the shift linkage was way to stiff, like Chim Chim said just try loosening the shift linkage and see what happends. GOod luck though!!
