Jack,

You may just be onto something.  Hindsight is 20/20 vision.  Guess that 
we should have spent more time inspecting the clutch components when we 
switched the broken clutch fork pin gearbox for a unbroken pin gearbox. 
  It looks like the answer might come later on tonight.  I will report 
back to the list.

   The last time I had this problem it acted like yours -- the biggest 
problem was reverse, but it did go into the other gears. The culprit 
was the pressure plate. Looking at the PP, the fingers of the diaphragm 
were at an uneven height. Replacement fixed the problem. Yours may be 
different, of course.
