It appears that you have touched all bases as far as the clutch is concerned. Since you track the car, I'm assuming that you have changed fluid recently and are using the proper weight. As far as I can tell, that leaves shifter or synchros as possible culprits. I doubt that reverse synchro is the problem - unless you use reverse more than most people and slam it into gear when you do. Unless the internal shift mechanism was damaged (possible but low on my list), it looks to me like the external parts of the shifter are out of adjustment.

Well I had sometime to have it looked at and it indeed was just and adjustment issue and the transmission is back to normal. Thank you for all your help and advice!

Z1 CSC elimination kit. I am assuming the track days put enough stress on it to so it was just on the edge of the engagement point. Everything else, clutch disk etc, looked fine and functioning.
