woa, i dunno what happened with the title LOL........ anyway

my disengagement point is all over the place. when the car is cold i can press the clutch down all the way and the engagement seems normal and it will go into gear without grinding, it will have a small bit of play in the pedal at the top. i drive the car around a little bit and the pedal starts to feel harder, and, when i try to push the clutch all the way down, i cant get it into gear, and it will just grind. it will only go into gear if i push the clutch about halfway down instead of all the way. when i had the engine out of the car, the clutch pedal got pushed and i think it may have screwed up the slave cylinder or got air in the system. maybe if it got air in the system, it is expanding with higher heat and changing the engagement point, but why would it not release with the pedal all the way down, but will when its halfway down? i think im going to bleed the system, but i think it needs a new slave, mines old anyway.
 
First thing to look at are your master/slave cylinders (as you hinted at). Look to see if there's clutch fluid leaking onto the floorboard beneath the master cylinder adjustment rod--that's a clear sign that it's dead.
