Default Stock clutch gets grabbier as it warms up

When I start out driving the clutch is very smooth as one would expect. In normal driving it gets grabbier and harder to leave from a stop light, I have to start revving it more to keep from dipping the RPMs too low. This process takes about 30 minutes in normal driving. Is this normal or a symptom of the previous owner's use/abuse? I have only driven the car about 4000 miles so far and it has 20000 total on it.

My car has always had the same problem. 02 z28. I took it to chevy with around 11000 on the clock. They actually fixed it for about a month or so and for the last 20,000 miles its done the same thing and now gm says its normal. Good luck let me know if you find anything,.

What did GM do to fix it? It sound like they sprayed something on it.

I think they resurfaced the flywheel and lubricated part of the pedal assembly somewhere. The clutch was extremely smooth for about a month, just didnt last.
