Linkage problem , after all they are 20 years old.
Lately 1st gear is becoming hard to select with the shifter. I have no other issues with selecting any other gears, it doesn't pop out of gear, doesn't select the wrong gear etc...
Seems I really have to slam the gear lever to get it into first. Occasionally when it goes into first it clunks like the clutch is not fully engaged properly.
Any ideas on what it could be?

The bushes in the linkages are plastic and they break and fall out. That makes too much slack in the linkage. Get a refresh kit. They are pretty cheap and relatively easy to fit.
