Going to first gear first in cold weather is always a good idea to line up the gears.
If your pedal feels ok and is not dropping on you or changing feel normally the hydraulics are ok.

This was my next thought, I’ll have to go back and find out what combo, it was a kit from z1. But I’m losing clutch pressure back up at higher rpm, which makes me think it’s the hydraulics somewhere. I plan to drop it back off tomorrow and hope they can figure it out.
Clutch kit only has 20,000 if that on it
