transmission or clutch problem? thanks for reading

it only happens when it's cold, like sitting all night when it's maybe 40 degrees or colder outside. you put it in first gear, accelerate, push clutch in to get into 2nd - but rpm stays at 2500! slide in 2nd without problem, accelerate....then thing repeats, third gear etc....

the rpms would go down after a couple of long seconds if you just coasted with clutch pushed in.
obviously, normally it's supposed to drop straight to idle soon as clutch is in.
after engine worm, no problem.
had a tranny with 80k put in 6 months ago, mech claimed clutch was fine.
THE CLUTCH DOESN'T SLIP. never did.

one wonders about supposed clutch life being 60k.. car has 120k, if this is second clutch (no clue if it is)

thanks for posting!
