So! The car is much smoother and nicer to drive at speed with the new lambda and clutch cable BUT (there's always a but...) the gear issue is really bad. Basically when it's cold the gears slip in an out nicely, but give it 10 mins running and they get really stiff, half an hour and it gets stuck in gear and all 'in's have to be crunched, not ideal trying to find a parking space in a busy car show this afternoon, got so fed up with it I bumped it over a 2" kerb and a grass mound, wrenched/crunched into reverse and called that parked lol. No idea why MY95 cant get up kerbs if I can with 40mm drop at the front and a ridiculous beam lol. 
Was cold when I got back to it and changed perfectly again! Until another 10 or so mins where it got really tight again, had to wrench/crunch it into reverse when I got home as well.
So obviously this needs sorting, why is it only a problem when hot though? Wrong oil problems are usually when cold I thought? The linkages are 'loose' but would they get worse when hot? I just don't want to spend £50 on new oil and linkages and find it's no better.
