I've adjusted my clutch cable 3-4 times in the past few months with minimal drive time in between. I know what the first suggestion is... the clutch tube is still attached to the tunnel. Here are my symptoms:

Shifts perfectly when cold. After a few minutes it starts to grind in 1st and reverse.
Even grinds at a full stop after sitting for 30 seconds, clutch in, 2nd gear, clutch out, clutch in, 1st gear ... crunch..

Is it possible that my clutch cable is stretching that badly? The last few times I adjusted it at the tranny side the problem dissapeared. The previous owner didn't have a pedal board installed, so i wouldn't be surprised. Now I have an Engman pedal board in.

Thanks

Not bad for carrying sway bars.

This is what you are doing wrong. Try keeping the clutch IN while putting it in 2nd or 3rd and then into 1st. Don't let the clutch out between 2nd and 1st. Reverse you just have to take it easy with. Make sure you are at a 100% complete stop and that the clutch is depressed all the way. Then slowly put it into reverse. Or try letting out and pushing in the clutch a second time for reverse. For some reason it does seem to grind more when warm. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
