clutch issues when hot

I've noticed the last two days when its warm my clutch is a monster.

If its cold everything works great but as soon as it heats up the thing is a bear to get into gear, usually have to double clutch it to get the next gear.

I checked the fluid and its fine, the slave cylinder hasn't any leaks nor does the line.

Whats the deal here?

BTW its a 93' F-150 4spd (T-18), 5.0, 4x4

Mines gets stupid as well. New clutch and slave (from a transmission shop), new master from me. Mine doesn't need to be hot though.

the clutch isn't even a year old, thats why I'm stumped.

Wondering if the slave cylinder is going bad but I'm not sure how to tell.

Collapsed hydraulic line? Try new fluid? Sounds like an expansion/contraction thing.
