2000 Alfa Romeo 156 Front Wheel Drive Manual 170000 miles

hi, only when the engine gets warm (after aroun15 miles of driving the car) it does not go into gear. changed oil in gearbox but still the same. clutch seems fine to me and it has also been changed in the past 6 months. if you turn the engine off it goes in gear fine but after starting car again problem reoccurs. no other issues with it as i just got it serviced. thank you

Hi there,

Please check this first, place in 1st gear clutch in and start engine, slowly lift off clutch as to drive off, now take close attention as to where the drive takes up, if it is at the top of the clutch pedal travel, the clutch will be worn, we have no info on this model, but i am thinking that there will be no manual adjustment on this clutch, let me know your findings.
