well, i could throw a random guess out there, but i dont have enough info. sounds like a tranny issue and its heating up makes it go away. thats all i can really say for now.

Grady's thought is the same as mine. With gearing, you might be slipping it in first, but second gear+ dont necessarily make it slip that you notice.

Where is the Point of engagement?

Good luck.

I have been noticing the same and I think my clutch is slightly slipping, how I found out is I Was doing a brakestand the other day and comming out of it my clutch started slipping pretty good.
