James Clio 16v

Need your help please.
I've just had the gearbox replaced on my 16v, as the old one wouldn't go into third, jumps out of fifth, was making whining noises at low speed, increasing to grinding noises as the revs rose.
Just picked up the car today and it was fine for a while, then exactly the same thing is happening.
I can't believe that 2 separate gearboxes would have exactly the same problems, so I think that there may be a problem with the clutch.
The clutch itself is brand new, but the cable is a couple of years old and as far as I know the pedal has never been replaced.
It feels like the clutch is not fully engaging the gears, does it sound like the self-adjuster on the pedal has died and the cable is too slack or could it be something more serious.
Thanks in advance.
