clutch hard to grab

I have a 93 toy pkup 2wd

My clutch grabs easily in 1st gear when cold but after 30 minutes of driving, I've noticed that my clutch is hard to grab (transmission shakes/rumbles), even on flat grounds especially going up-hills.

could my clutch be the problem? i am thinking of changing my clutch kit

i checked my clutch fluid and seems to be full to the top.

thanks

You could try bleeding it, but that probably won't fix the problem. Is the clutch original? Or do you know how many miles are on it? It may simply be time to replace it. They will start chattering if they get oil on them, if the flywheel has hot spot glazing, or if the clutch has been mistreated during its life.

clutch was replaced about 2 1/2 yrs ago. and it only acts up when its hot (after 30min of driving) how would i check if there is oil on them? maybe too much oil i may have put? im thinking the oil expands when its hot so it goes in clutch area?
