Does anyone else notice a very pronounced difference in clutch engagement when the car is cold vs. fully warmed-up? During the first few miles of very gentle shifting, the clutch seems to need a full second or so to fully engage. When the car is warmed, this "delay" diminishes to nothing, except on some high rpm shifts where it's very brief, but discernable. Is this a function of the self-adjusting clutch mechanism, or the operating temp of the clutch material, or maybe both? Could it be a sign of a worn clutch? I'm at 31k miles.
Thanks for your thoughts.

Thanks guys. I'm not seeing rising rpm after the clutch is engaged, except to the extent I'm applying throttle. Same is true when shifting gentling and when shifting at higher rpm. With might foot just off the pedal, the clutch seems to say -- wait a second, ok, I'm ready now. It's going to be hard for the dealer to duplicate without keeping the car overnight - guess I'll wait and see.
