Default goes into gear like butter, very had to come out of gear?

90 civic lx
mildly built gsr 183 hp, 131 tq
cable ys1 LS trans
speck 6 puck sprung clutch,spec 8 lb flywheel.

weird problem....
at startup and a few minutes of driving it shifts fine, but after it gets warm/running temperture... it starts getting hard to shift out of gear.where I cant force it out and I press the clutch a 2nd time then I can change gears.... no grinds.... so far it starts acting up in 2nd gear.. then 3rd... then 1st...
also its the older design spec clutch setup. and on a cable trans its very hard to push down on the pedal... like as if its 200% increase pedal pressure than stock. lol
im thinking maybe the flex fingers are acting up on the clutch? or the throwout bearing isnt functioning properly due to broken clutch fork spring???
anybody heard of this dumbass problem? im going to yank the trans out in a day or two...
I dont think its a trans problem because if it was it would be doing it all the time, not as it gets warmer...

Has the pedal always been that stiff or has it recently gotten stiffer?

Sounds like the typical B series clutch disc spit out a spring...

its always been stiff....it wasnt as bad when I used it in my eg... but its always going to be easier in an hydro setup compared to a cable....
