Suspect clutch more than gears TBH. Especially if it's related to heat.

Will check the clutch adjustment at both ends.

It seems smooth and light.

Thats why i asked what oil, gearboxes on the 550 are pretty robust, i have heard of ,but not seen, of odd gears breaking dogs off but that dont give false neutrals

Good to know,  thanks. 👍

Oddjob:
It could be the cork parts of the friction discs are swelling with the heat. Could be they are getting real old and this is causing them to swell.
