Inconsistent Clutch Pedal

Inconsistent Clutch Pedal
Hi :
I have a 2004 TL, 6 speed manual.
After a few quick shifts, my clutch pedal travel decreases to only a few inches, and becomes much harder to depress.
After pumping the clutch pedal a few times, or waiting a period of time, the travel, and effort required to depress the clutch return to normal.
Has anyone seen this before, and have any suggestion as to the fix ?
Suspect either my master or slave is failing, but would appreciate any suggestions anyone might have.
Thanks
mike

You should definitely flush and bleed the system to ensure there is no air/water in the system.
Have you deleted the checkvalve in the slave cylinder?
If you haven't, the clutch (friction disc & pressure plate) tends to get hot, much quicker. The symptoms you are experiencing might be caused by the self-adjusting mechanism in the OEM pressure plate; when it gets hot, it doesn't work properly.

Hi :
Thanks for the reply, much appreciated.
By any chance, do you have details on how to flush and bleed the system ? I've searched, but unable to find it.
How would I ensure proper function of the checkvalve in the slave cylinder ?
Thanks
