yes i have searched and i didnt find a definitive answer.

so i got my clutch replaced and it was fine for a while. its been about 2 months now and now my clutch pedal in the morning when i get in to go to work its fine for about 5 mins and then it starts to stiffen. when this happens it starts to slip. once i get to work when i go to lunch its fine. its back to normal. and same with when i go home. the fluid level is fine. im lost. please help! thanks

that happened to me before. it got to the point where i couldn't shift becuase it was too stiff. one of those little springs on the clutch disk fell out and jams it sometimes.

have you tried adjusting your clutch master cylinder?

Im in the process of replacing my clutch mines was doing the same thing, thought it was the clutch slipping, after i took it apart the clutch was still in good condition still had more beef with that much beef atleast it shouldn`t be slipping but since i have it apart now i`m going to go ahead and replace it, i don`t know forsure if its my clutch master cylinder that caused this my guess it might of need adjusting, but i was having the same prolem your having, last thing i did was change the clutch master cylinder this was 2or3 weeks ago before all this happened, hopefully after i put everything back together i`ll see how things go.

not yet. didnt think that would be what was the problem. supposedly the slave cylinder needs to be replaced (the guy that i had my clutch replaced by 6 months ago said it. but that was before i blew my engine). would that cause this?

If it's only in the morning, doesn't sound like a master or slave issue. If it were either of those it'd be more consistant.
