My '84 GTV6 does exactly the same thing however only on a cold startup.  Worse on chilly morns, worse after a couple days of non use.  When it happens I can't get ANY gears.  A couple minutes of idling in neutral with the clutch engaged seems to help.  I have no idea as to the cause but I think it has more to do with the friction disk(s) hanging up either on the input shaft or on the pressure plate rather than in the hydraulics.  If you figure it out, let us know.  I still have the twin plate clutch, BTW.
