Default S4 Clutch Acting Odd

Started last Thursday morning. Got in the car and backed out of the garage. Put it in first and started to let the clutch out and the clutch sort of grabbed 3/4 of the way out. Can't really explain it other than maybe a hesitation or sticky release. Does the same thing in 2nd and 3rd but not in 4th and beyond. By the time afternoon rolls around and I am heading home from work the problem is gone. Can't tell if it is heat related or what.

Any input or ideas as to what it could be would be greatly appreciated. The car is running fine otherwise and the shifting is more of an annoyance than anything else.

And again I will take any humor comments since they are sometimes the best to read.

Default Mine does the same thing...

Only when it's cold though. It started doing it after the first time I slipped my clutch really bad. Since it only does it when it's cold, my tech said not to worry about it. It's annoying though, so I may complain the next time I take it in.
