I experience this from time to time especially after my morning drive when I get in my car to go for lunch.
Besides the obvious fix,(which sounds pretty expensive) is there concerns for the long haul if I don't have this done?

Reference: Hard clutch engagement first time in a.m. - 1994-98 900 and all 9-3 models with manual transmission
A customer may notice when releasing the clutch for the first time in the morning that the clutch pedal comes up further than normal. Then they feel a "bang" into gear. After the first engagement, the clutch works fine. This usually happens after the car has been driven a long distance, then parked overnight with the shifter in Reverse. This can be caused by the 3rd-4th synchromesh rings sticking. See the improved parts below.
Note: This will only affect some 900 or 9-3 models, and will not affect the durability of the transmission.
1. Remove the transmission from the car and dismantle the transmission.
2. Replace 3rd -4th synchromesh rings and reinforced 3rd-4th shift fork with the parts listed below.
3. Reassemble the transmission and fit to the car.
Note: on 9-3 models install the complete kit p/n 54 40 516 per the tsb dated 03/16/01
Part Number Description Qty.
51 60 296 3rd-4th synchromesh rings 2
87 49 749 3rd-4th shift fork 1
