how long does it take for the gears to become hard to change. is it the same when stationary and driving and lso with the engine turned off? how does the clutch pedal feel?

Changing gears problem starts after a few miles(5?) Gear changing while car not running no roblem. Seems to make gear change easier if ypu make the change in 2 posative motions,into neutral then next gear.

check the master and the slave cylindrs for leaks. if there is a leak you could be pushing the fluid out of the cylinders when you press the clutch. also tere could be a problem with the echanical part of the cluthc inside the bellhousing.
