Default Clutch pedal stiffer after driving? Brake softer.

Just recently during the hot summer weather, my clutch pedal gets really stiff after driving. I've been turbo'd since spring and had not any problems at first. During the day when it's hotter, it happens quicker. Any freeplay in the pedal disappears, and it just becomes really stiff all the way through. I've become adjusted to it, but it get's annoying.

The opposite happens to my brake pedal. With the heat, my brake pedal loses pressure. Anyone know what could be wrong?

Slave cylinder failure? Check the area around the slave cylinder and make sure there isn't excessive heat right there.

It's right next to compressor inlet. What could I do to block the heat? Just wrap it?

I am having the same problem in my 1995 Integra gsr. the pedal gets really stiff and stays stiff until I bleed the slave cylinder. it is a completely stock db8. I've replaced the clutch, throw out bearing, pilot bearing, pressure plate, master and slave cylinder. any ideas on what could be the problem? I've had it at 3 different shops and cannot get an answer. thanks.

Could be a vaccum leak in your slave cylinder or possibly the brake booster.

how would i fix that though? ive already replaced the slave cylinder. ive replaced everything except for the actual lines themselves. should i give that a try? the new clutch has about 140 miles on it and it slips everytime i drive the car for about 10-15 minutes.
