Reply to "Grinding noise when shifting : syncs or clutch ?"

I believe you have a clutch disc that is slightly dragging. This could be due to an improper clutch assembly being installed or a problem with the hydraulic clutch system. Your description of a rapid depression of the pedal being better than a gradual one is symptomatic of a failing clutch master cylinder.

I believe that the reason it works better when cold is that the trans-axle grease is stiffer and creates some drag on the gears that lessens as the oil warms. One other possibility is the clutch friction disc binding on the trans input shaft splines. A long throw slave cylinder may help but will have an increae in clutch pedal effort.
