Question Can't bleed clutch

So, I replaced my clutch with a ACT 6 puck, replaced all my lines with AMS steel braided lines and removed the slave cylinder pill. It's working great and was bleed 3 times but after some launches the pedal only comes half way back up. The spring is good and working as well. The pedal comes all the way back up after like 5 seconds but still doesn't seem right.

the reservoir portion for the clutch doesn't show too well. it's the part closest to the firewall and is very hard to see, it will look like it's up to the full mark but the back part can be low. best thing to do is fill the thing all the way up to the neck keep it there and bleed again.

I read about that and did over fill it but have the same results. It's bled and feels good but when I get into the gas I still have the same problem. I'm using dot3/dot4 fluid. Could it be the temp?

Well, I bled it 2 nore times and the clutch feels great, once it warms up it will only come up half way in 4th and 5th gear, only if I get into it hard. If I cruz normal then its fine... wtf?

I'd say something is binding in the pressure plate once it gets hot.
