Hi it can take quite some time for the clutch to bed in, you say you have done 100 miles but how were those miles done,was the fly wheel skimmed when the clutch was fitted. all can have a bearing no how the clutch will perform? It's possible that when the clutch is cold that the friction material on the drive plate is not gripping as well as when it is worm?
