Hello everyone? I've been noticing lately that when the engine is still cold, shifting gears is pretty smooth, no resistance at all. However, once the engine reaches its normal temperature, I feel like some sort of "resistance" when I shift gears. I don't hear a "grinding" sound while shifting but I really feel some resistance, like I have to go through an "obstacle" to go from 1st to 2nd, 3rd to 4th, etc. Any idea what it could be? Could it be the bushing? Thanks.

Yes, it can be your bushing.

you could check your master and slave cylinders for leaks, check the lines too. You can be having the issues with leaks when things warms up. If they are leaking, time to replace. You can also bleed your system too, flush out the old fluid.
