wont shift when hot
1985 corvette 4 speed (+ 2 overdrive) 13K miles only. dealer replaced clutch 1K miles ago with same symptom. still car won't shift when engine gets hot. will shift after car cools down. All fluids OK. When I can shift clutch doesn't slip, seems fast, but maybe supposed to be. Appreciate any help

I've heard of a case when the pilot bearing/bushing in the crank is going out which will allow the input shaft to spin freely when cold but drags the input shaft when hot. This can cause hard shifting when hot.
