Default CLUTCH TROUBLE

Need abit of help this morning, went to posers cruise last night, gave the car abit of stick launching the car a few times and then couldnt select any gears, car stalled and wouldnt restart for minute or two(possible flooding) i managed to get it into gear and drive home, gears all hard to select, the funny thing is i left the car to cool down and when i returned the clutch was ok so i thought as it was selecting and driving ok, 5 minutes into the drive gears hard to select again and clutch peddle not returning higher than half way back, takes a look this morning and clutch peddle nearly to the floor.... any ideas?

Just went out to it now and its back to normal, fluid level is fine aswell, really got me puzzled, could it be where i heated the clutch up so much it malfunctioned, took it for a hours drive and drove it quite hard, no sign of any problem.... hmmmmmmmmmm?

It would be a good idea to change your clutch fluid and have the slave cylinder re blead, sometimes when it gets hot in the engine bay you can amost boil the fluid, After this it gets air in it, It may work fine when its cold but when the engine bay warms up so does the fluid again,

The internals of a clutch are purely mechanical and shouldnt act differently.
