That happened in my Escort. i was afraid that the clutch pressure plate was failing again. Turned out it was only the clutch master cylinder. I'd check and see if yours might be getting weak. Have you tried pumping the clutch a few times then attempting 1st? That saved me a few times before I got to fixing it. Also something I'm getting ready to do that isn't a bad idea... change the transmission oil. It's expensive from the dealer.. $17.99 x 3 but worth the peace of mind.
