Before you fork out any money check a few things first.
Are the gear lever ball ends in good condition with no wear & lost motion & is the input shaft free to rotate slightly (float) ...........not bound up ?
Make sure that your gear lever is set properly...for maximum lever action it should be just about contacting the top of your boot. You should be able to move the lever by rotating your foot only, not lifting off the peg to change up. It's easy to miss completely or not fully engage a gear if you are lifting your foot to change up. My mate was convinced his 4 th gear was gone but not so......
If all is well then you've eliminated this as a source of trouble & need to look elsewhere. Worth a try.
