2. The last couple of days when the car is cold, it dosent want to change gear or wont go into a gear, it is like it is jamed, when the car warms up the changes gears just fine, no crunch or grind. Is there a clutch fluid resorwar for the clutch, i have looked and found nothing.

Thanks for your help,
Jason.

Should be drivers side on the firewall with the brake booster.

You may have a leaking slave cylinder, that's located on the gearbox bell housing passenger side of the car.

You'll find that the clutch fluid is fed from the brake master cylinder reservoir.

As Baz said, it's possibly the slave cylinder leaking. Peel back the rubber boot if it's not obviously leaking. Wet = leak.
