Clutch Issue...possibly slipping?

Heres whats going on...I'll drive around for say a half hour to 45 mins perfectly fine, then my clutch will start acting up. I'll shift gears and the engine will rev high and it'll take a few seconds for it to start accelerating, kinda feels like the clutch is staying engaged a little too long. I'll get home and be home for a few hours then leave again and it drives perfectly fine. It seems like it only starts to act up once I've been driving around for over a half hour. My first thought is its time to replace the clutch but it seems like its way too soon to need a replacement. Everyone I know thats had a clutch go out has said their clutch didnt go the way mine did. Im going to bleed it this week and see if it makes a difference but does anyone have any other suggestions? Im planning on replacing the master and slave cylinders as I've read that fixed some others problem that was just like mine. I just find it odd that it only happens after that long driving. Also thats 30-45 mins of in city driving, on the highway i havent notice it do it even once but i havent done over 30 mins highway at one time it quite a while. Im open to any suggestions especially if its happened to you before. Thanks in advance

Re: Clutch Issue...possibly slipping?

yeah the clutch sounds like its slipping. when you replace it, make sure there is some clearance between the rod and fork.
