This should be the transmission for your WD. Straight cut gears, no constant mesh, no synchros. If the transmission shifted correctly at first, but neither clutch works well now, it seems that something in the transmission or shifter has gone amiss.
These transmissions require that the tractor be at a full stop when shifting. The foot clutch is the most certain, but with experience, a properly adjusted wet clutch can be just as effective if you learn to do it smoothly.

Since the tractor stops when you push the foot clutch in, you do not likely have a clutch problem.
