I had a new clutch and rebuilt transmission installed in Nov. of last year by Chevy dealership. Everything worked great for 8 months. Then in July, while towing my travel trailer, I noticed that when I came to a stop, I could not change gears with the clutch pressed in. I made it home and took it back to the dealer who replaced the master and slave. I used the truck for about two weeks then noticed that in the morning or when the truck was cold, when I depressed the clutch, there wasn't much resistance and it is very difficult to get into gear. It even lurches when starting with the clutch depressed and in gear. After the truck heats up to normal operating temperature, there is more pressure in the clutch and it slips into gear just fine. I took it back to the dealership and they stated they can't find anything wrong. Any suggestions?
