6-spd clutch binds when hot

I have an '03 6-spd. The clutch is starting to bind and make a creaking noise near the end of it's travel when it's hot. It's smooth and quiet when cold. I've tried to lubricate everything that moves on both side of the firewall to no avail. Anyone been here before? Maybe it's the throughout bearing sticking (hopefully not...). Or maybe the master or slave, but it doesn't feel hydraulic.

I removed the clutch slave cylinder and fork boot and shot some white grease at the fork pivot and throughout bearing. It's much better now.
