Angry Tremec not shifting well......

Ok I think I have about had it with this Tremec (3550). The tranny is about 16 months old, the clutch is about 6 months old and the shifter is about 2 months old. the tranny is giving up a fight getting into any gear, especially reverse. If I toe the clutch in all the way through the floorboard, its shifts fairly well. This has been slowly coming on, and now its just a pain. It's almost impossible to get it into reverse unless I pump the clutch several times, and run it through a few gears first. When I shut the car off, the tranny is VERY smooth. Anybody have a clue as to what the problem could be? The tranny has about 22-25,000 miles on it. If it keeps this up, I will pull it, strap on some C-4, and everybody will see a shooting star headed towards the moon. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated!

Chris
