Did you manage to get this sorted?
I had the same problem on a 2000tc that I have just bought.
Clutch master was rebuilt a handful of years ago and the slave is recent and not leaking.
When I drive the car home, all seemed ok and the clutch peddle is a bit lighter than my other 2000sc and the clutch disengages promptly.
A few days later drove off the drive and down the road (hill), turned left and then was unable to get the car into any gear....
After several mins of "gentle" forcing, I managed to to select gears and drive
I instantly thought of gearbox oil. I drained the gearbox and only about 1/3 of a litre came out.
I refilled it with 1litre standard mineral engine oil and the gear change has completely changed and appears normal.
My drive slops downwards, so when I drove the car home, it was on the flat and the oil splashes around.
Sat on my sloping drive and what little oil drains down and to the front of the box.
The gear change in my other 2000sc was awful, when I first had her and wouldn't select 1st without a lot of forcing (100miles after an engine rebuild and new clutch). This car had a full litre of creamy like gloop in the box. Replaced with fresh basic mineral engine oil and the gear change is a dream.
