Default Clutch Sticking top end

I notice on long drives 1+ hour long drives my clutch will start sticking at the top end. I can take my foot off and I hear it fully pop up all the way finally which makes shifting a pain in the *** later on. Gets really jerky and annoying.
What could I do to fix this problem?
Not sure if the warm weather makes it worse also. It has done it in colder weather also.

I haven't gone to Nissan yet but I guess I will give them a call/go see them and see what they say. The car has 55k only.

I also don't live to far from the dealership so when I got time I am like I should do it! but it never shows up then lol.

a flush and new fluids will help a bit. but yeah.. its happens to a lot of us. it feels gummy, sticky up top after the clutch gets warmed up.

Flushing the fluid fixed mine.

Basically it seems to go with these steps for fixing the problem:

1)Fluid flush/fill
if that doesn't work
2) Upgrade to SS line and flush/fill
if that doesn't work
3) Replace master and slave cyl
