hard shifting when engine reaches normal operating temps...

when cold, it shifts fine like a brand new car would shift, but as the engine heats up to normal operating temperature, hard shifting occurs. just replaced the tranny fluid with a new one, clutch lining, pressure plate and release bearing are 6 months old, just used the car on sundays wherein the streets aren't busy....,... but still the problem persisted.
this problem occurs on a full stop especially on traffic days.
it would change gears fine if the car is moving.
engine is a 7age in an ae101 sedan.

sounds like the gearbox oil is too thin, ie when its hot, it gets too thin and isnt working properly.

Clutch fluid/clutch line heating up too much causing it to be hard to disengage?

i used the SAE 90 API GL4 (as what it is written on the bottle)...
is that too thin? what is your recommendation?

first, figure outif this is a clutch or transmission problem.
clutch dragging.
how's reverse - cold & warm?
that'll tell you if it's dis-engaging OK.
if it's OK, then it's the trans, but i really doubt it, and different oil wouldn't help in any case.
different gear oil does help, sometimes, in the opposite condition of difficult shifting when cold but fine when warm.
