I agree with the clutch as well as the synchromesh - but it is also worth considering rod lengths - alignment of rod positions in neutral (bolt special tool through the holes in the shifter out put) - rod bushings - gear box oil type and level (!) - and the condition of the shifter before you start taking the gearbox to pieces...
