Clutch acting weird

I recently got a Sachs 2.5 Clutch with the gt2 conversion, had it in for a month or so and a few days ago the clutch felt weird. It releases all the way up but when I go to press it there's pressure only 75% of the way. When the car is warmed up its back to 100% pressure. I only noticed this when I park on a hill, when I park on strait surface this doesn't happen. What could it be? Also there are no leaks and clutch fluid is fine.

Sort of reads like a clutch fluid problem.

In cases like your's I advise a proper clutch fluid (and brake fluid if the systems share fluid) flush/bleed be done before anything else to eliminate possibly contaminated fluid being at the root of the symptom.

I hope, but why would it all of sudden do it if it was working fine before?

Its possible air got into the system over time. I agree with a bleed first and foremost. Its the easiest and cheapest thing to check!
