Thought I'd add some snaps of the bits that came out...
Here's the left selector fork, the worst of the bunch.

The drum also bore some wear marks, the scuffing on the tip of the nearest track corresponds to 2nd gear for the left selector fork.

As for the selection problem, it's still there. Second gear upwards select fine, it's just the 1-N-2 region that does nothing when the gearlever is prodded.
I've had the gear shaft back out again thinking that if the claw got stretched by my heavy-footed MOT guy, then the angle the shaft moves through might not be sufficient to nudge the pin on the selector beyond the neutral detent, yet still be able to work the higher gears because the pin doesn't need to be pulled quite as far (once it's beyond the middle of the movement the detent wheel will push it the rest of the way).
Despite having a closer look at the shaft, the mechanism looked OK, but in desperation I tried squeezing the claw in the vice to tighten the gap by 1.5mm. That too has made no difference.
I've uploaded a brief clip of the shaft failing to reach the selector pin when the drum's in neutral here. Aeva Media doesn't like .mp4 and I'm locked out of my own youTube account (due to having registered under an email address that is now extinct) so I hope Videobam works OK, I've not had time to test them against others.
