Default having clutch issue need some opinions

Car is a 2000 trans am i just gotnit a couple days ago and first thing i noticed was i can not grab gears at high rpm at all just hits a wall no matter how hard i shift. Well today i was driving in traffic and started noticing my clutch pedal was lower and lower at every light untill it was only about 2 inches off the floor so i got on a road with no stops and left it alone and it came back up about halfway. When i got home i shut the car off and pumped it a couple times and it came back to.the top like normal. I pulled the cap off and the fluid is up to the bottom of the rubber piece in there so i dont think i have a leak and the master looks dry.. i have no.problem pulling the trans to swap the slave but i wanted to get some opinions first..

I'm having a similar issue, car won't shift above 5000rpms without the pedal sticking to the floor, can't disengage the clutch...I tried the drill mod, didn't fix it, so I just ordered a Tick adj master cyl to see if that fixes it...it's been the fix for many

My M6 T/A used to do the samething, really never tried to fix it by getting a Master Tick because I ended up pulling the tranny out and sell it since I was going 80e.

The fact that it's changing with heat I'd guess it's the fluid or clutch diaphragm springs and would start with bleeding the clutch and report back.
