Try adjusting the pushrods,  making them longer.  I know it sounds crazy,  =
but i had a similar problem and that fixed it.   People on this list even s=
aid don't do it,  but i did it anyway.   Now it works

Maybe a different approach:
Are the clutch hydraulics still in good order?
A clutch which does not operate well, does not =93allow=94 the gearbox shif=
t in good order.
Check the level and when good, check the movement of the slave cylinder whe=
n fully operating the clutch pedal.
Did you notice a change in the ease of operation of the clutch pedal?
If so, this indicates clutch hydraulics issues=85

My =9271 B/GT has suddenly developed a gearbox problem=97intermittently it =
will not go into any gear, whether the engine is running or not.  A few min=
utes later it will work normally, then later refuse to shift again.  Any id=
ea where we should look for the cause?  We assume the side plate will have =
to come off.  We need to fix the problem, as I want to put the car up for s=
ale before winter sets in----
