Default selecting gear on erst when hot

mates escort rs turbo is ok to select a gear when cold but when the car heats up selecting gears become near impossible and sometimes has to turn it off then back on again to select a gear
also when heated up the bite point becomes non existant and the car tries to pull even when clutch pedal is on floor
any ideas?could it be the clutch which was recently fitted?gearbox?
also tried several clutch cables on it and still the same
cheers

stick some oil in the gear box ya muppet

the oil reduces friction and as a result it also keeps the metal cooler so it dont expand as much
rub ya hands together and they borrow some of popeyes baby oil and do it again then get back to me wioth the results
