05 SS hard to get into gear

At times, not all the time. It is a little easier with the car turned off. If I go through the gears with the clutch pushed down, cold engine, it is pretty easy to shift through all the gears. But warm it up, turn it off, it is slightly harder to get into gear. Any ideas?

I am familiar with the clutch hydraulics on the C4 Vettes. Those cars have clutch fluid reservoirs. Do these have the same? Sorry for the dumb questions.

I know when mine was hard to shift it was the shift cables. They can get water in them after a while and deteriote inside.

The clutch shares a reservoir with the brakes.

Interesting. I'll take a look at fluid condition and level. The clutch doesn't bite way low or anything.
