Default Shifting problems when hot

Currently having a problem with the 93 civic 1.5 L 5spd. It only happens if she idles too long and heats up. She'll go into gear but wont move. I've taken out the tranny, inspected for cracks or faults, nothing. New clutch, flywheel, pressure plate, suspension components, brakes, slave cylinders (master and clutch). So I've replaced all that I can think of. Please help.

The transmission shifts into any gear but when push the throttle pedal, the engine rpms rise but the wheels don't turn?

Exactly! She just wont budge. I've replaced every suspension component I could think of. Transmission, clutch, flywheel, pressure plate, axles, hubs, tie rods, ball joints, rotors, struts, shocks, and hubs.

Sounds like the clutch is slipping or an axle is popping out and disengaging from the differential.

Are you saying the engine overheats?

No. You know when you run your car it gets all warmed up. Well if mine is left idling too long she wont go into gear. On a cool day or at night she runs with no problems. I just did a new clutch and axles. She's running just not when she's been left on for too long. It's like something is heating up and not expanding proper like a hose line or something.

The problem is either the clutch, transmission, or axles.

Where are you purchasing the axles and which specific axles? Post pics of axles insertion into differential and gap between the two.

What specific clutch and release bearing? Any transmission fluid leaks or rear main seal engine oil leaks?

What specific transmission? Post the transmission label and codes.

D15B7 or D15B8 engine?

Did you even bother to check what was suggest before responding? Did you bleed and adjust the clutch pedal? Did you buy a new or 'new to me' clutch?

Yes. I bleed the pedal and adjusted. I bought brand new from advance auto. It's only when she's idled for too long and hot outside. Otherwise she runs with zero problems.

D15B7 engine. No leaks. I've replaced every possible part I could think. Clutch slave cylinder, master slave cylinder, clutch, flywheel, pressure plate, transmission, both axles, tie rods, hubs, shocks, and struts.
