Stiff Clutch?

Alright, i have about 29,000 miles on my car, stock clutch. If I go wot just through one gear, when i'm about to shift into another gear, the clutch pedal gets STIFF as hell. This has happened also when I haven't been wot and just driving normally, but it mostly happens after i get on it. Any ideas as to what it is? Does the clutch need to be bled out?

I've heard that when a clutch startes stiffening up like that, it's a sign of wear. No clue how true that one is, though.

Sounds like the slave cylinder is acting up.

Mines also at the dealer now to look into that. usually its cause the clutch is wearing out or got really hot. Hopefully i can get a replacement. I have about 29K on mine.
