Default Clutch Issue

I have a recurring issue with my clutch that I need help diagnosing.

The particulars:

2001 Boxster, 2.7, 5 speed, no pasm, 79000 miles

Replaced clutch at 60000 miles and have done roughly 50 autocross/track days since.

The issue is:

The pedal feels inconsistent. Sometimes it feels as if it is not disengaging. A quick pump of the clutch pedal restores the normal feel. I can feel it in the pedal by letting it out different distances to make the car start moving. It can be repeated at a stop if the clutch pedal is depressed for more than about 10 seconds. Underway it is hard to change gears smoothly (not the actual gears as there are no issues with grinding, finding etc) but the clutch aspect of the gear change. It does not slip uphill in top gear either. I've had it flushed thinking it may be an air bubble but no change. Is it a fluid, bushing?

help

Thanks in advance.

Hunt,

When they did your clutch did they do the tsb to update the clutch release lever? (if it is applicable to your year, it was to my 99). Just an idea.
