I'm a new "poster" and wondering if anybody has experienced the following. My car is a stock '00 S-4 with 43K. Recently, my clutch started acting funny when cold. After I release the pedal, there is a slight slippage before I get completely locked-up. It seems like its only happening in 1st gear and after the initial slip completely locks-up with no additional slipping detected. The problem seems to go away once the car is warmed-up. Is the clutch going away on me?

...only that the clutch seems to be slipping in 1st gear.

There's no difficulty engaging gears. It is only on the initial take-up. I let the clutch pedal out completely, and it feels like there is a delay before the clutch is fully engaged.
