Default 05 t56 shifting issue when warm.

HELP!!! Hoping someone here has experienced a similar issue as I’m stuck clueless now.. 05 t56 car.. dual disk clutch installed 400 miles ago. Recently started noticing it was tough to go into reverse when warm and then maybe little tougher in other gears. Suddenly wouldn’t go into reverse at all when warm. Car sits over night you get in an every gear works perfect until car reaches running temp.. bled the system an nothing. Replaced trans fluid and nothing. Replaced reverse lock out solenoid and nothing. Just did master cylinder and STILL same issue.. no grinds no noises clutch peddle feels normal. And this only happens when WARM. Car goes into every gear flawless when car is off.. and when car is cold.. now most recently other then reverse being tough when warm I noticed I can’t get it into 5th gear at all either which is right next to reverse it’s like a wall is blocking me. Also noticed if I’m stopped car in first gear clutch to floor that car SLOWLY inches forward like it’s not disengaging fully. Any one have any ideas? I’m stumped.. thanks in advance. Again clutch an slave where replaced less then 400 miles ago

Sounds like your clutch is not disengaging fully after a little warm-up for one reason or another. Figure that out and I think your shifting will go back to normal.

any opinions on what else to check? Really hoping to not pull trans again but looking that way.

I would try the Tick adjustable master cylinder.

Dumb/serious question, maybe the OP said it, but... Have you actually tried to adjust the clutch linkage? Or have looked at clutch from underneath to see what happens when the pedal is pressed???
