I'll pull this out eventually and will see what's going on. I know for sure a mild clutch shouldn't be behaving like this. It certainly isn't as hot as after completing a few hot laps or drag racing, it's just city traffic and no longer than 1 hr drive.
While stopped with the engine running, pick a gear and repeat engaging-disengaging while at the same time lifting the pedal a tiny bit each time. You will find the exact point at which the clutch makes contact because it won't go into gear.

If that distance changes between hot and cold conditions, something is warping.
