Over the last couple months iv'e noticed a difficulty in shifting into 1st or reverse, this problem seems to dissappear once the car has heated up and this hot weather also seems to have lessend the problem.
this problem is getting on my nerves now, by the time i take it anywhere to be looked at the cars warmed up and the problem gone, and i can't be without my car for any long peroid of time to leave it with them...99% of my driving in this car is moterway so i wouldn't have thought i'd have worn the clutch out, does any one have any ideas? i would really appreciate the help...

check the motor mounts, I had a mazda protege that did the exact same thing, one of the motor mounts was torn and apparently tempature effects the rubber, I switched to stiffer aftermarket mounts and the problem dissapeared.
