Default Could this be synchros in gearbox....

Hi all, had a clutch changed around 6 months ago as clutch was slipping badly, over the last few months gears have become stiff and sometimes when select reverse it grinds then drops in. The bite point on the clutch is at the bottom so i dont think its clutch? Any ideas? .... But some times i can go out in it and it goes in all gears sound
Cheers

The clutch plates not stiff on its splins is it and dragging. If you had synchro damage it would always be there and get worse as the gear box oil gets hotter (thinner)

Clutch bite right at the bottom and struggling to engage gears sounds like bad adjustment to me. Possibly a new ratchet and pawl required.
