very odd mate.... you did put oil in the gearbox after the clutch change didn't you....... daft question, sorry, but there's clearly something causing drag in the box...

lol, yeah definetly did.... slightly overfilled it too
after the gasket escapade the other day i checked the dipstick and it was slightly over the full marker....
if the clutch is disengaged though, how is drag affecting the engine... (i see what you mean though...)

There's a small chance that it's as a result of it being a new clutch, how many miles has it now done.... it could be bedding in..... ie, if the plate is still a bit rough.. ie not bedded in yet, it could be dragging slightly, but you'd only see the symptoms when it's in gear.... cos when it's in neutral there's nothing for it to 'drag' against.....
I know what i mean...!
