How about air in the system, worn bushing at the lever, slave cylinder piston sticking, wrong oil viscosity, etc, etc. Service the hydraulic system if it hasn't been done in some time. Best place to start.

When you fully pull back the lever, it does not completely disengage. It will go into first OK to get going, but then it shifts very hard for a few minutes, then it goes back to where it is supposed to be (somewhere about mid range on the lever). What causes this and what can be done about it?
