I drive a manual 2016 Scion FRS with 24,000 miles and my clutch pedal seems to not be smooth when pressing and letting off. When I first bought the car brand new with 8 miles on it, it was smooth, but at roughly 14,000 miles, it started to lose it's smoothness.

It's hard to describe, but when I press it down and let it back up, it just doesn't have that brand new butter smooth feeling. I don't know how to describe it. When you press it and let off completely you can feel very small and subtle disturbances throughout the motion. It feels as though maybe the pedal or some mechanism is getting worn out or been through heavily manipulation over the course of being used constantly.

But overall the clutch pedal and the clutch operate perfectly fine. It's just a feel thing for me. It's not that big of a deal since everything works perfectly fine, but it just annoys me since I daily drive in a big city and I'm constantly on the clutch all the time. I wish for it to be smooth just like the first day I bought the car.

What could be the problem and how can I fix it to be smooth again?

Edit #1: Needed to clarify that the clutch pedal was working perfectly when I initially bought it, up to 14,000 miles
Edit #2: I forgot to mention that when my car heats up and I have the heat on and it shoots into the foot wells for at least 10-15 minutes the problem goes away completely. The clutch pedal ends up being butter smooth again.
