Default help!!!!

Okay so I know this might sound like old news to some of you but I am have lots of issues with my clutch lately. First off I replaced clutch and flywheel with Z06/LS2 setup. I also replaced slave and master. There is DOT 3 fluid in the system right now. The issues I am having are when the air temperature is below 50 degrees. When its below 50 out my clutch pedal is very lazy (slow to return even sometimes sticks halfway up) and also extremely soft which causes some hard shifting. When above 50 degrees the car drives likeva dream with perfect pedal pressure perfect pedal firmness throughout travel snd excellent shifting (like a hot knife through butter). So what could the issue be here?
Need for drill mod?
Fluid change to DOT 4?
Good bleed with some fresh DOT 3 or DOT 4 fluid?

Please any input is helpful heree!!!!!

When you replace the slave/master, what did you replace them with? New/used? I wouldn't think that replacing DOT 3 with DOT 4 would make any difference at all. Does it do this at any RPM? Driving in traffic or other?
