Hello!
The past few mornings I have had an issue with my gears engaging Both Reverse and First gear. I have a feeling it may be the clutch but not had the opportunity to take a closer look. From cold start its virtually impossible to engage but once the engine warms up a bit, maybe 5-10 minutes, it becomes a lot easier.
Anyone give me any advice on what the issue may or could be?
Thanks in advance!

Look for fluid dripping out of the bottom of the bellhousing or onto the top of the clutch pedal. Try bleeding the system. Could be failing master or slave cylinder or perished flexible hose. Check these out first 'cos they can be fixed without taking the gearbox out....
