Shift cables replaced, now, in the morning when its cool, shifting is easy and smooth. After work, its hot and when I run the a/c, shifting becomes hard, it will not go in gear. Need to push in the clutch multiple times to engage gear at a full stop. When i turn off a/c, shifting is better, but not as easy as in the morning. What is the remedy for this problem?

REcheck the adjustment on shift cables see if in neutral they line up properly.
