I think that may be what's causing the odd behavior with my clutch. I want to hear your stories.
My car won't go into gear oftentimes when started up and the car is cold. I can, however, put the car in a forward gear (not reverse though), and start the car up. Then the car will creep while in gear with the clutch pedal fully pressed. The engagement point for the clutch is seemingly below the bottom of the floorboard, although I can usually shift into a higher gear once the car is moving if I rev match and am patient enough to push it into gear. As everything warms up over 5 minutes or so, the clutch engagement point moves up a little higher away from the floor and eventually I can drive the car normally, although at best there might be a half inch of travel between the floor and the clutch engagement point. Then it all starts over again if the car sits long enough to cool off.
