clutch pedal effort

Hey guys, after I've driven my car for about approx. 10 miles and the engine is good and warmed up (hot), I swear it feels like it's harder to push in the clutch pedal.

I checked my fluid and everything is cool. It is a oem clutch and it's my 2nd. Nothing is slipping and no noises. So what's up?

Bump for any ideas. Thanks.

I tried finding info on this, to no avail. If everything is fine then I wouldn't worry about it. You say its tougher, but it's not rediculous, right? If not I wouldn't sweat it bro.

Cool. No it's not ridiculous, but it is funny how it gradually takes more and more effort as I drive the car to disengage (to a point) the clutch.

Although in traffic if effen sucks. Your leg really gets tired, and I'm not out of shape either.

The only thing that I can remotely imagine, is if for some reason the throwout bearing is affected by temperature, and not sliding on the shaft as well as it does when cold. Doesn't really make sense, as the lube should soften with heat, but it's just a thought.
