i have FA1 5 speed only mods are exhaust and wheels

the last couple days i have noticed about 20%-50% of the shifts have this notch while i am letting out the clutch about 3/4 of the way out (almost fully engaged) and the car is warmed up too (i have experienced how cold weather affects cars and driveability)

i know the clutch isnt slipping because i tested that by going like 20 mph in 4th and mashing the pedal and the rpms didnt jump

the car drives perfectly fine but there is that notch i can feel and hear right before it is all the way out every so often and it is annoying only when it happens because then sometimes it doesnt do it at all

the car has almost 30k miles on it and i know it isnt driver error because i use the dead pedal and i rev match/heel toe...i dont beat on the car and when i go on "spirited runs" i am not killing my car

does anyone know what the problem is? do i need to replace the clutch fluid? arent our clutches self-adjusting? (if that has anything to do with it)
