Peter,
Although you don't want to hear this, I agree with Doug, 20 thou cold isn't enough and there is still something amiss with your clutch system.
Maybe if you mash the pedal to the floor on every shift you'll find gears without grinding, but I'm pretty sure you need to get back in there and it might mean removing the ZF again.
