Hard to shift into gears while stationary

[Ruzzah]

Hi guys,

Problem: I find it hard to shift into other gears other than 1st while stationary, either I have to let the car roll by letting off the brakes or turn the vehicle off.

There isn’t exactly a big issue here, however it could be a bigger problem.
It only does this on a warm day. There is NO grinding and the clutch works (no slipping).

It began happening after I changed the transmission fluid over to Redline MT9, could it be lacking some oil?
Note: it has been almost half a year after the oil change.

Vehicle:
1996 Mitsubishi Lancer GL 5spd 2dr Manual

Transmission:
F5M21-RRBE

I appreciate any help or criticism, Thanks!

The clutch may not be adjusted/bled perfectly. What you are describing can happen if there is a very slight drag on the clutch disc still existing (not fully releasing) even when the pedal is pushed all the way down.
