sounds to me like you are riding the clutch instead of blipping the trottle and rev matching and you've worn out your clutch

Could be a lot of things from your description. Worn out flywheel? Bad Clutch master/slave cyl, Contaminated fluid, clutch installed improperly, wrong clutch components. Process of elimination is warranted. Start with the last thing you worked on.

This made a big difference in my clutch, I didn't even know it was a problem, but I saw a ton of bubbles when I bled it, and my shifts have been better ever since.

Hydraulics were my first guess to but the hydraulics should be totally independent of the revs. The hydraulic system neither knows or cares what the revs are unless your sliding your clutch so much that the heat is transferring back to the slave and boiling (or close to) the fluid...pretty unlikely it think.

interesting stuff. i've noticed something similar in my car. under typical, sporty driving conditions, the clutch engages near the end of the pedal release. when i'm bogged down in traffic in lower rev situations, however, the clutch engages at the start of pedal release. makes me want to only drive fast.

It almost sound like oil on the clutch, a leak from the trans. or motor main seals. Heat is up (under frisky driving) &the impregnated oil loosens up and slides. When it's cool it's more like tar... doesn't slide.

However, a soggy clutch usually stinks like a junkyard and chatters like 'ell.
