Seen this way too many times, even with brand new clutches.

How old is your clutch, and what style of clutch plate do you have?

We pulled out a clutch that travelled about 1500km after it was fitted.
Put the plate on the input shaft and rotated the plate, had a high spot, enough to allow the plate to drag (partly engaged) and give difficult gear selection from neutral.
Once moving shifted fine. Common complaint is 1st or Reverse. Generally when this happens, it will be ANY gear.
