It could potentially be the Pedal box, you could do with reading up on that thread:

Failing that it could be the gearbox, or your clutch. First I would check out the pedal box, then I would move to the clutch and box.

Good luck and keep us posted.

i had a similar problem, all that was with mine was a bolt missing from under the bonnet, might have been around the gearbox

First (and cheapest!) thing to check would be to have the clutch cable adjusted. I suffered the same symptoms after having a new clutch, the cable needed adjusting. Since adjustment, it has been perfect! :)

Cheers
