Yeah it would most likely be the singcro is damaged on the gears and that normally makes it harder to get the gear u want.
If the clutch had gone it would not effect the gear change, it would just slip and the engine would rev up and u would'nt be going any quicker.

Clutch drag (sticking friction plate? not enough freeplay in the cable) would cause hard selection/gear clipping and so also would gear selector cables in need of adjustment. Don't condemn the gearbox yet.
