I'm just reading back what you said you have changed Graham.
I guess one obvious thing to try (bit of a pain though) is popping the original reverse gear back in, assuming you now have it back.
Have you tried adjusting the selector position back and forth? It can be a bit of an art finding the 'sweet spot' where nothing drags.
Have you checked the layshaft end float again since re-assembly? The shim is one thing but presence & correct thickness of gaskets is also an influence (as others have observed, the carefully planned clearance has a habit of mysteriously disappearing once it's all done up).
Whether these things could cause the symptoms you are describing it's hard to say, but they are nonetheless worth checking I suggest. Difficult to diagnose these things on the telly I'm afraid.
