I did think it was heat related but it can happen any time weather the car is hot or cold or weather the out side temp is hot or cold.

Hence my comment about it felt like a restriction in the pipe work making it hard to press the pedal.
I'd suspect an intermittent - partial blockage (otherwise the clutch wouldn't work at all) somewhere in the hyrdaulic circuit. Which means removing and cleaning the master cylinder, then reverse bleed it from the slave end. (make sure there's no crud in the fluid in the slave.). Have you inspected the fluid from the master cylinder at all? are there any black bits floating in it?
