Clutch peddle is soft , not the way I like it to be !

Hello
My 02 Maxima clutch was replaced with a Nissan OEM kit (pressure plate , pilot bearing and disc) 6 months ago 5k miles ago (car now has 130k miles) , along with the slave cylinder (stock original master cylinder is stil on the car) and the system was bled ofcourse at that time... It was fine til recently the clutch is just too soft when engaging and disengaging (the grab is also fine) and also it has a "grindy" feeling just close to and when aproching the floor ... I always like the feedback the clutch is giving to my foot when it has some resistance ... Reservoir level is to the normal limit , area under the dash and the master cylinder is bone dry and no leaks I can see anywhere ....
Thanks

So it was stiff before and just all of a sudden got soft? Mine took some getting used to in that respect (I know it's a little different 5-spd to 6-spd) but I thought a soft clutch was pretty normal for a Maxima after having driven both an 01 and an 03.

actually it was also kind of "soft" before sometime (I mean right after the new clutch) but it is gradually getting "softer" lately !!!
