Thought I would add to this thread. I had this problem after installing a LUK clutch and as described would be most noticeable when doing a high RPM 1 to 2nd pull. Often could not shift to 2nd.

I had my fluid changed and bled a couple of times.

I also noticed it would happen on my commute home on a hot day. I would exit the freeway after about 40 minutes driving at 60 MPH and go to gear down and no clutch.

The way I would 'fix' this once I knew it was going to happen or started feeling a 'low' pedal engagement was to push the pedal down and slip my foot off allowing the pedal to 'snap' back.

After doing this I would get back to normal operation.

When I put in the GMPP I also installed a stainless line.

I had attributed it to the stock clutch line being soft and perhaps flexing? Could be that going to the GMPP resolved the issue.

Only thing I can say is it was one of the most annoying things until I got it fixed.

I had this problem. Brake fluid was black. Flushed it out now no problems at all. So definitely check your fluid first

Ya I'm gonna try flushing clutch, I did the brake fluid a year ago, but I also changed a caliper a month ago so I could still have air in the system. I shall try both these things and see what it does.
