The car is a Honda Element '05 manual 5 speed. 88k on the odometer. All standard maintenance performed and never touched clutch,etc. clutch fluid level is ok.
Today when i got into the car i could not go into gear once it was started(fine when its off). i figured something with the clutch and got it started in first and got to my first appointment. I had to clutch-less shift on the way there. Turned the car off there and went in. out a few mins later. start the car and no problem putting into gear. I continue not to have any problems until i get home about 1 hour later.
About 2-3 hours later go to get in the car. same problem but slightly better. will barely go into second and hard to get between gears.

I'm hoping its just a bubble in the system. i plan on starting by doing a bleed and going from there. I find it odd that the problem is intermittent. just curious if anyone had any other input.

seemed to fix the problem by bleeding the clutch.

the issue was a broken spring in the clutch.
