Had similar problem and after fiddling with adjustments found that replacing
slave cylinder corrected shifting problem.

Subject: [TR] TR3 hard to slide into 1st gear
My wife is having difficulty in shifting her TR3 into first gear at a stop.
I have worked with her on letting the clutch out slightly etc, but it's like
it just will not slide into gear for her. I don't have as much trouble, but
it is difficult at times. It is a non-syncro overdrive. Before installing
it I put in bearings, seals and syncro's, but did nothing to the top cover
or shifter slides. From the wisdom of the list, Is the top cover the best
place to start? Clean shafts, new seals, and shift shaft lubrication? What
is the recommended lubricant that will stay without attracting too much
dirt? Any help is ALWAYS appreciated
THANKS
