Crunchy Gearbox When Hot

Has anyone come across the following?

Recently installed a gearbox from a wrecker and a brand new clutch - when the car heats up this box was getting hard to go from neutral to 1st gear (it almost feels locked out until forced). Not all the time though, but the majority of the time. Second gear would give similar problems. 3rd 4th 5th all fine.

I took this back to the wrecker and got a replacement, however this replacement is doing the same, and now crunches a bit in reverse.

Has anyone experienced similar? Any suggestions?

Friends have suggested the clutch not disengaging properly, but what steps can be done to verify? Is it just another shagged gearbox?

put thicker oil in it. the oil in it now must be gettin to thin when it heats up

Im not opposed to fixing the problem, as i wish to the sell the car and want it to be fine.

It has Redline in at the moment (fresh) ..so Oil isnt the issue.

I am interested in this Slave/Master cyl issue, but would like more info on it..

What am i looking for when inspecting the units?

      Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
