Clutch or transmission diagnosis: FIXED!

UPDATED:
Couldn't find the 715 Mods board, so I hope this fits here...

Specs: GM350 crate, Advance Adaptor bellhousing, Centerforce hydro clutch, and NV4500 tranny (all newer installation).

Problem: Tranny doesn't want to shift into 1st or reverse when not slightly rolling (i.e. 2nd gear nudge forward).

Notes: clutch feels a little soft SOMETIMES; shifts worse when truck has been run awhile on short town trips on a hot day; just started on the last two drives (2 weeks between drives) and was a problem even when first started after short idle time (warm, not hot). This is very sporatic, at least yesterday.

Fix: I would appreciate any insight or diagnostic ideas from you educated guys out there.
