You probably need a new clutch, and/or clutch parts.

Starts off smooth, then after 15-30 minutes I can barely get it to shift. Anyone got any ideas of whats going on or what I should check? Any help is much appreciated.
Take the transmission out and look at it and your clutch. No need on guessing what the problem is.

That no doubt would be the best way to find out. However, if I had the tools/know how to do that, I probably wouldn't have started this thread in the first place.

That was kinda my reason for posting. I dont really know of a shop I trust around here. Thats why I was hoping with some suggestions I might be able to figure it out on my own. I just dont want to take it somewhere and be told I need a new transmission if its something small. Anyone know of a trust worthy establishment here in Portsmouth?
