Clutch Barely Disengaging in the Morning Recently, it seems like my clutch is not disengaging very well in the mornings. The engagement point is barely off the floor. It is sometimes hard to shift and it was especially bad this morning when I went 6th to neutral then tried to go neutral into 5th, but ended up coasting downhill for a good 10 - 15 seconds in neutral trying to stuff it into any gear. I finally forced it into 4th and then it shifted fine from then on to work. The pedal pressure felt normal, as always. Ambient temps are mid 40s to low 50s.
In the afternoons after work, it always disengages and shifts just fine. The engagement point is midway up the pedal like normal. Ambient temps are mid 70s to low 80s.
The car has 2k miles on the following parts:
LS7 Clutch Kit
Tick Master
Slave Cylinder
Pilot bearing

Air in the system is my guess. As the air heats, it expands and allows the slave to travel farther, when its cold, it doesnt move the slave as much and thus your problem.
