Pedal free play and engine idle speed are two places I would look, too. There is a guy in our club who has his idle set to "excessively fast" and is always grinding the gears, even when at a full stop to put it into first gear. I keep telling him is idle is too fast, and he says "nah I just need a new transmission." Sure, that should fix the problem....not.
