Gee, I thought OB was asking how to solve his shifting problems.

Diablo, how old is your clutch cable? I'm thinking it might be stretched or something like that. This would make it so your clutch isn't releasing properly all the time, thus only acting up sometimes. When the clutch doesn't release properly, it's a bugger to shift.
