Whats up with my clutch?

My oem clutch with about 10k miles on it feels like it just can't do its job right. Some days it feels good and does'nt slip in between hard 1-2 shifts hence a nice chirp. Other days i cant chirp the tires no matter how hard i try and can feel the clutch slightly slip instead before it catches into 2nd. But the weird thing is i think it has to relate to the weather b/c the clutch works good on nice dry days and slips on humid days or after it has rained, weird huh. Anyone else have similiar experiences?

My clutch does something similar in the morning, especailly on humid and/or cold mornings. It slips when starting from a stop, but it all goes away after about 5-10 mins of highway driving. My guess is that there is some kind of moisture that is getting in the cluch assembly thay has to evaporate. I have 90k miles on my original clutch. I will probably go ahead and replace it soon because it has become very heavy for some reason.

Go with ACT, you'll have no complaints about how hard it grabs, makes the car feel 10 times more sporty in my opinion.
