Default clutch pedal changing pressure!!

I just recently did an automatic to manual swap with the ls7 clutch and purchased all brand new hydraulics, there is about 5k on the clutch so far and I notced when it's hot and and lets say just cold start the car, the clutch pedal feels like a rock and engages right off the floor and then loosens up a little and rises as I drive around....but lets say I cold start it when it's a litlle cold outside, it feels real soft, like a stock clutch and engages perfectly.......also when the pedal is hard it doesn't feel that springy coming up and when it's softer it feels nice and springy like I'm used to clutches feeling like.....I have bled and flushed the system using the pumping the pedal method however never done it with a mity vac, and I also put the clutch line behind the factory heat shield for it and also insulated it too

thanks

You should wrap it in heat resistant foil & put a chunk of heater hose slit down the side over that.
Stock master?

ya stock hydraulics and everything is brand new, I am gonna try to use the mityvac as soon as I pick one up cause I bled it several time through the bleeder screw and still the same.. so if there is any air it must be trapped at the master
