Default 6MT Take Off Issue

Hello,

I recently noticed that I have to hold the clutch pedal at the shift point a little longer before I can fully release the clutch pedal when taking off in first gear. Also the clutch pedal feels less stiff and the shift point is lower than before. Once the vehicle is moving, I can shift fine.

I was wondering what wear is causing this issue. Could it be the clutch, pressure plate, pivot ball bearing, etc that is starting to wear? I would like to hear your opinions and suggestions. Thank you.

Mine is an 05. I changed the master slave cylinder already. I do not know if it is the slave cylinder or if the pressure plate is starting to loose some tension and is wearing out.

DId you bleed it correctly? If so it might be the first few signs of slippage.
