..do the springs on a pressure plate get weak with cold/age?

i have a formula with a b/w aluminum 4 speed and i installed the 82-83 manual clutch linkage. clutch is a larger truck clutch with what i assume is a truck pressure plate ..(what i heard when i had a friend do the clutch years ago)he said it was 10" or somethin oversized? now its old but it grabs tight never slips but lately it feels like it doesnt release the gear all the way and my trans shifts rough. i tried adjusting it and it still feels bad and the clutch now grabs way high?do the springs in the pressure plate get affected with cold to hot conditions?? and what should i get as a replacement. im daily driven but i want what will be the fastest period.
