Happy new year to you all.

This has happened twice to me now and it's very scary when it happens especially when the tide is coming in. Driving along the beach in low range in soft sand for long periods at a time is causing something to go wrong with my gears or clutch. I will be in third gear for say 5 min just ploughing through the soft sand at around 30km/h and if I have to change to second my clutch pedal is spongy and I can't change gears...the car will come to a stop and the gear will be stuck in third....the clutch pedal is completely spongy and I can't change gears or anything. I have to turn the car off and force the gearbox into a gear and start the car that way to keep going. As soon as I am out of the soft stuff everything is back to normal. My guess is that it's either overheating and seizing up some how or there is air in the hydraulics. The fluid level is full and I am not sure where to start looking.

Thanks
