The strange thing is with what you have is when the car is stationary it goes into the gears with no problems so that seems to rule out clutch problems.
Faulty clutch would be the easiest thing to fix but if you can rule that out 100% you have to suspect an internal gear selector problem.
Was it a rebuilt gearbox you have put in? If so it must have some sort of guarantee on it?
Not much movement, pretty low bite. It was a gearbox from a scrap car so no guarantees!

I think I've made a bit of a f*ck up myself and fitted the wrong adjuster quadrant. It was a white one that was originally fitted and I've fitted a black one. Apparently they're slightly different according to colour (although looked the same when I had them next to each other on the workbench). So I've ordered a white one. Hopefully this will sort it. 😳
