Clutch adjustment or synchros... 200 1992

As the clutch, flywheel and pressure plate heat up, some dimensions will change; this could mean that your clutch is somewhat out of adjustment when it is cold, but more so when warm. If your clutch is dragging, your 1st gear synchro will get hotter whenever you idle with your foot on the clutch, and so it too might be less effective when hot.

You should also check your transmission oil, and change it if you haven't done so in a while. If the oil is low or old, excess friction in the gearbox will cause higher than normal temperatures, which can also lead to binding of the gears.
