Will certainly do that.....would be a nice cheap fix if that proves to be the case !
Its either that or the bushes the remote linkage rod runs in. They are nylon sort of and do wear out. Omicron ones actually have to be modified to fit the last time I bought some (some months ago). It would be a challenge to sort without dropping the gearbox out (but then you can look and replace the clutch plate as also probably time expired??). The bottom bolt of the gear stick should have a thin shim washer but these are often lost. You can tighten the bolt up to just allow free movement and then apply the lock nut. The protective boot might need replacing as well.
