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.
