It's only reverse that drags, the synchro's are masking the problem in the other gears. Where it is most likely the input shaft drag is so slight "at speed" it really isn't a factor anyway. When stopped, however, that slight drag is what is causing the non-synchro reverse gear selection to be problematic.

Not that I know anything about transmissions but after reading the thread my bet is the bushing is allowing the input shaft to turn even with the clutch pushed in.
THAT sum's up the problem in my opinion. After so many adjustments of the clutch components by different shops it is clear that is not the problem. Which only leaves one variable, the input shaft bushing dragging on the input shaft, keeping it in rotation.

Changing over to a bearing, from a bushing, is a good approach in this case and it appears that has now been done.
