intermittent problems with selecting first and second gear.

Hi all,
I own a 2006 Megane 1.4. 3 door,
I recently carried out a full coolant flush and replacement of thermostat/housing, all went back together without issues and seemed to be working great. temps good etc. However when i came to drive it next day, i found that it was really difficult to select first gear when stationary or second gear could not be selected when moving,(all other gears seem unaffected) however this problem only seems intermittent, as moments latter first and second work without issue, if cannot select first, repeated pressing of clutch pedal seems to help, and pausing in neutral, can help with second gear sometimes.
Before carrying out work on cooling system, clutch and gearbox were working great, never had any problem with them, however, have not found out that clutch hydraulics are right where i was working, can only think this has something to do with it?
any ideas would be appreciated.
