I do have a problem with shifting after 10-20min of driving. Ihave fidanza light weigth flywheel, SBR clutch and short shifter. My car is ok when totaly cools down. This problem gives me a lot of headache at the track, to shift my rpms have to go down to 3000. Any sugestions, this is becoming to be very anoying.

thank you
 
how is the fluid level in your clutch master cylinder? is there a leak by your clutch pedal? it could be going out or a leak in the line that carries fluid from the reservoir to the clutch master cylinder.
 
If you gears are grinning you might have to adjust the pedal by adjusting the master clutch rod. ( I bet the clutch is not disengaging all the way)
If the shifter is not moving freely look around the shifting cable and reassemble the short shifter.
 
like i said, when car is cold its ok, and i can shift easily for about 10 min of driving, then after is starting to hard switching the gears. i ordered the bg transmission fluid, someone told that could help. But again why my car only has problems when is warm.
