You're correct, that wouldn't be so likely to affect higher gears, first to second is the one that shows the issue first because the neutral detent requires the drum to be rotated further than between the other gears.
If the clutch was dragging you'd notice difficulty getting between 1st and neutral, yet it's odd that replacing the clutch seemed to fix it temporarily.
It might be worth taking the clutch cover off and taking a closer look and see if you can spot what is happening.
By side to side play in the gear shaft do you mean axial? A bit of radial slop is normal, but if the shaft is able to move too far to the left side of the engine it could result in the same collision with the pins of the selector drum that I had. And that might account for it working some of the time and not others.
Thinking about it, a suitable washer on the shaft to keep it a millimetre further away would have fixed my issue a lot easier. :lol
Also it’s just probably 1mom[size=78%] of freeplay side so side when I pull/ push the gear lever by hand.[/size]
