Poor first gear selection

[reb78]

As some of you will know, I have had various problems with my gearbox lately. One of the remaining issues is that, on occasions, first gear can be very hard to select from standing still. If it is selected whilst very slowly rolling, it will go in more easily. Second gear selects fine whether stood still or moving. What could be the reasons? The company that reconditioned it told me this would 'wear in'. I am doubtful as it has done about 10,000 miles now since fitting last autumn.

So far i have:

1. replaced all clutch hydraulics and bled

2. adjusted the shims on the 1st/2nd guide on the gearbox

3. clutch itself was all replaced when the gearbox was last out. I wasn't able to change the spigot bearing as the one i had was the wrong size, but the old one had only had about 40k miles of wear and felt fine and received a small smear of copper grease before refitting the box.

Where is the bite point on the pedal?

There's good movement before you get to the bite point. I.e. It's not on the floor.
