My 245 does similar things. Search the brickboard for "cana0006 383_262GL" and "cana0006 Rolyak" to see the good explanation I got for this phenomenon.

To recap: slightly leaking transmission or dry splines preventing clutch from fully disengaging... relubricate clutch with dealer lube (or temporarily fix with a judicious application of penetrating oil).

I haven't actually tried these recommendations yet -- my car hasn't been running now for a couple weeks. But it too shifted well when cold, and got tougher after 20-30 min. on the road. All gears, to some degree.

Belated thanks for the help, Rolyak & 262GL! I'll post results if/when I manage to get them.
