Default Diognose this?

Not until within the past 300 miles of having Tpis headers installed the car now has an intermittent problem of going into gear with clutch seeming to work as it always has,ie the clutch has never been soggy.When the car is driven then stopped and shut off for a period time the difficulty arrises.Has anyone else had this problem? :confused:

Heat soak could be causing some vapor formation from moisture contamination in the fluid. A thorough flush/bleed of the clutch hydraulics is probably the first step, but it could be the radiated heat from the headers causing some fluid to boil in which case you might want to discuss the situation with the header manufacturer. Some sort of heat shield might be required.

That was going to be my guess too. Now the clue to that would be that the engagement also happens a little later when sitting/and hot.
