Free play after a few miles

So I replaced my clutch on my 6mt sedan a few months back and I noticed that after driving for a few miles my clutch pedal has more and more free play. Is there anything I can adjust to fix this ?

See if your clutch pedal can be fully released (up). If it's being hindered by the cruise shut off switch, even a tiny bit, keeping it from fully returning, it can compromise the internal design of the hydraulics in the master cylinder, and your clutch pedal feel will be floppy at the top.

To determine the above, I like to look at where the mc pushrod/clevis attach to the pin going through the pedal (https://www.nicoclub.com/articles/im...r-clutch-3.jpg). What I look for is a tiny amount of play in the pin/pedal once the pushrod is fully extended.

I never replied but I still have the same issue. The pedal fully releases. I took it to a private Nissan mechanic and he tried to bleed my system but was having some issues with fluid not fully coming out from the nipple. So the issue that I’m still having is the excessive free play after driving my car over 20miles a day or if the weather is hot. Weird I know. he suggested replacing the MC and or taking my transmission off to inspect my clutch. I replaced my clutch 2 years ago with a stage 2 from zspeed. What would y’all do
