Replaced the gear pivot and gear lever (both were worn and probably originals), inspected the tie rod (which seemed ok) and worked backwards from the gear shaft. With no tie rod and tie rod no cables attached to lever, engaged all 4 gears, though a few false neutrals. Attached cables and at the lever end can still engage all four gears however at headset/handle end can only engage 3 gears (with cables not attached to lever (or tie rod not attached to lever), handle moves freely). At the headset end it feels like there is slack in the inner cables yet they are relatively tight at the lever end, next step appears to be having a look at the cable routing/headset to see if anything is snagging or loose!!
