There is a seal "piston" common problem ,B3 I think ?. With cold thick fluid it will shift the piston ,once the oil gets hot it bleeds past the seal never applying full pressure to the clutch plates .Some Lucas additives help depending how bad it is .

Plan you parking facing up hill or drive through spot facing out . I think a junk yard tranny is 600 - $800 .A rebuilt unit NO core return $1300 -$1500 depending on shipping.
