Default grabby and slippy clutch.....

when the temp is cool, first thing in the AM, my 94 gsr clutch is really grabby (stuttering feel if i don't slip the clutch more than usual), but after it warms up, it is no longer grabby, but generally does seem more slippy than usual (mostly when starting from a stop uphill). the shop "burped" the hydraulic system a while ago, and that seemed to help a little bit with the grabby part, but didn't completely fix it. it goes into and out of gear just fine, and i don't notice any other symptoms.

this is the 3rd clutch i have had in this (the original one was really touchy when i bought the car at 36K, it fell apart after 15K and i got it replaced with another factory one, which shot craps in 8k more miles (i do not drive that aggressively), so the dealer replaced that one for free - so i have had this clutch since about 58k and the car now has 135K miles on it.

whenever i drive a newer car, the clutch feels so silky smooth and precise...kinda like mine did right after the clutch was replaced. it is such a gradual change, that it is tough to notice it, but i wanted to know what feedback you all might have for me.

what could be wrong with it?

TIA
