I have been having an issue shifting gears after my 41' ak warms up. When the engine is cold, the tranny shifts pretty good (for a non synchro 4 speed) but after it has been running a while, I'll go to shift, clutch to the floor, and no shifting. Double clutching doesn't help at all. It will shift with an unreasonable amount of force, but no good for driving. In the process of replacing the clutch and pressure plate now; just wondering if anybody else has experienced this problem and what solutions you came up with.

As long as the TO brg. does not stay up against the fingers. Sometimes a spring in the pressure plate breaks & it takes all the travel of the clutch pedal to release it. Heavy grease in the trans. helps those old crash boxes shift better. Like 90-140.
