I drive a 97 Mazda Rustler 1600i. I cannot get into an gear once I have driven the vehicle for over 20 minutes. In the morning everything is fine but as soon as the engine heats up I cannot get into first gear at all. I thought it had something to do with the clutch so I fitted a brand new clutch kit but it did not solve my problem
