under the nut is a washer and spring. Remove them and the lever and check the small pin that engages the slot in the lever. It is fitted from the inside.
On the gear change clamp: it will be a post service mod. The early ones had an adjustable left and right threaded bolt like the ones in your linkage adjustment, only bigger. They were a dumb idea and by the time of the building of the U.C. I think they had moved on to the fixed arrangement as Rob and others have mentioned

Thanks Lynn,
I will take the top off the gearbox on Friday and see if I can ascertain the issue. The little pin sounds like it could be the guilty culprit!
