Probably the infamous broken roll pin. There really isn't an adjustment that will compansate for this, there is a roll pin on one of the shifter shafts that pushes the fork that pushes the gear. Sometimes (usually due to the original poor clutch hydraulic line) it get sheared off from trying to get the trans in gear without the clutch fully dis-engaged. It costs all of about 35 cents but is located deep inside the transmission. A good thing to fix when you get around to replacing the clutch.
