Hi, my car is fine to drive until it warms up and then seems to glide as in not in gear and will suddenly catch on again and drive a bit more. The longer it is driven the worse it gets unless it is driven under eighty with no stops at all. Clutch has been replaced as I thought that was the problem as have leads. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

For manual transmissions the only plausible explanation would be insufficient free travel of the master pump push rod. Whe this occurs, the clutch would self apply once the fluid heats up. Have the pedal push rod adjustment checked.
