If this is a manual transmission, I would have the hydraulic clutch bled out. May be air in the system. Check the fluid also.

If you take it to have the codes checked, it would say what is going on. It may be just a solenoid needing to be replaced, but a scanner capable of reading trany code would pick this up.
