I would think that if you had clutch problems the gear selecting would produce a lot of crunching , and grinding noises? I think that a light clutch can only be put down to springs on the pressure plate maybe broken. Does it slip under load?
I finished ( literally yesterday) a rebuild of my pickups engine clutch and gearbox. Setting up the selection is a bit tricky until you get your head around what’s going on. I found at first that I could only get either reverse first and second, or, 1,2,3,4 and no reverse.
(The adjustment is made with the push-pull cable that passes under the box)
I’m surprised that you can get reverse 3,4.
To get from reverse gear to 3/4, the gear engagement lever has to pass through 1/2 selector fork on it’s way to 3/4 selector fork.
So it should be in there somewhere.
If anyone is interested i will describe all that I found wrong with my gearbox and how I rectified it.
