one interesting thing. When i drive around for 10-20 minutes there is no slipping and although it does disengage very high... there are no major issues.
after about 15 minutes or so 4th gear starts to slip... 5 minutes later 3rd will start to slip. 2nd and first never slip.
but every day ... on a cold start.. in the morning... there is no slippage period.
could this be a sign of air bubbles in the lines.. or is the clutch disc just shot.

Why is the slipping symptom time dependent? Because with increased operating time the temperature of the fluid in the hydraulic system rises, and with increased temperature the volume of the fluid also increases. If, as may well be the case, the clutch master cylinder pushrod eccentric bolt at the pedal has been adjusted too tight, then the fluid return port in the master cylinder is blocked. In that case, the fluid cannot escape to the reservoir as it expands, but rather places enough force on the slave cylinder to release the clutch, hence the slipping.
