Light only after it has recently been to high rpm however, the first shift as I'm at high rpm is good then no matter if you stay on it and shift high again or slow down and shift low the clutch feels light. So for example, run it up to 6K in second and then shift from 3rd to 4th at 2500rpm and continue on as such the car shifts light untill it has a chance to be parked and cool down.

Again, by light I mean peddal takes no effort to push could be done by hand with ease. I would say the clutch is worn but its almost as once some power is applied and heat generated the pressure plate fingers loose there spring back. If that makes sense.

Air in slave cylinder??

Sounds like you may have some air in your clutch hydrauilc slave cylinder & when it gets hot, it will feel soft or spongy. I would bleed / flush the system and go from there....
Cheaper than a clutch replacement.

ya I deffinatly think that's what needs to happen, last night my pedal feel become very spongy and soft. Hard clucking shifts, hard to get in gear, poor ingage/disengagement. Gonna have it flushed but may be a master cyl issue also.
