I've noticed lately on my daily driver, that after a few minutes of driving (maybe 10) it becomes difficult to shift into 1st from a sstop without grinding.

Going into second gear and then into first helps a little.

So talking with Phantom914 at work today and Bondo on the phone, it seems like it is either the clutch nnot disengaging completely, or the release bearing is stuck.

Has anyone else had a similar situation? Its getting really annoying to drive for more than a few minutes.

Update...

I thought I had the problem fixed when I fixed up the clutch tube, but it seems I was wrong. It was working well for a while but then...

Sunday I had my clutch cable break at the transmission. Yesterday I installed a new cable and had a heck of a time adjusting it. I have it adjusted pretty tight now, so that the clutch engages about 1/2 way to 2/3 of the way up the pedal travel. I had to do this because if it was adjusted any looser, the transmission would not spin down when I engaged the clutch. So that means, 1st, 2nd, and reverse would all grind with the clutch pedal pushed all the way in.

So I thought I had things adjusted reasonably well last night and was even cinsidering loosening it a tiny bit. Fastforward to this morning on my way to work, and for the first several shifts, it doesn't like going into 1st or 2nd. After the car warmed up a little, (maybe 3 minutes) the shifting improved.

Oh, lastly, my new cable is a terry cable and I can hear the cable rubbing against the center tunnel clutch tube. Should this section of the cable get grease? Or will it just eventually wear its way through the tube?
