Clutch pedal suddenly grabs high

After an exahstive 2.5 hour bumper to bumper commute home from LaGuardia airport, my clutch pedal grabs about an inch higher than it did before the trek. My primary concern during this ordeal, (rush hour and Yankee game just let out) was heat; my oil temp guage was at 220C, the cluch seemed fine until the next day, cluch feels a little slippery now, but think because of the pedal height.

Any comments welcome...

how many miles are on the clutch?

as long as it's not feeling rubbery when your pressing it or making a groaning sound you're good.

check the fluid levels too
