There is something wrong with my clutch. When i first start the engine, everything works fine until the car gets more heated up, and then the clutch starts slipping. Not that the clutch only slips when it's warm, but when it gets hot and you come to a stop, it will not shift into gear.

What does this kind of problem call for?

So far, I've only replaced the clutch because i thought that was out.

Hi there,

Thank you for the donation,

A clutch will slip because there is not enough friction to hold it or there is a lack of surface pressure from the pressure plate, if it is only slipping when hot, i would be checking the clutch pedal free play as if there is no free play the clutch will be riding a bit and as things warm up this can increase and it wont take much to reach the stage when it may want to slip. Start here.
