Symptoms: Clutch drags, hard to get into gear or shift, works a lot better
if you slip it and get the clutch 'warmed up.'

Where do I start?  Master, Slave or (ugh) clutch

I've experienced this symptom once, on another make, but, a clutch is a
clutch...
In my case, one of the pressure plate springs broke, allowing the plate to
slightly contact the driven disk on one side.. not enough to move the car,
but enough to make it very difficult (read impossible) to put into gear,
etc.. the symptoms you mentioned above. The car had several hundred thou on
it at the time, so it was due for replacement. How many miles on yours?
Not the news you wanted to hear, I'm sure. Hopefully, it's something else..
Good luck,
Mark
