Here is my problem which I need some guidance.  When I start in the =
morning everything works fine.  I can put the car in reverse without any =
problems.  I can up or down shift easily.  As things warm up, it gets =
harder and harder to shift gears.  It is almost like the clutch is not =
going far enough especially into first or second.  Even when I double =
clutch it.  When I try to put it in reverse, it grinds.   I can get it =
into reverse but it does not want to go there.  If I turn off the engine =
and start up with the clutch depressed, it will work without grinding.

I made sure I had the DOT 5 fluid up to full.  I got an adjustable link =
connector between the slave and clutch and have lengthened that out =
quite a bit without success.  Transmission oil was low, so I filled =
that.=20

What do you think?  My regular mechanic thinks it is the clutch, but why =
does it work when cold?  HELP!
