For a short time I've been driving my RX8 because my Evora needed new pads. So now that I've done the brake job I'm back in my Evora schlepping to work every day. And after driving the RX-8, I'm always reminded of how much heavier the clutch is on my Evora. About twice as much force is needed, which has always been the norm. But this time it seems much heavier. So something must have happened in the last 24 hours since I last drove it? or I simply just haven't noticed this until now. Anyway, my clutch is slipping. 
So the question I have are:
1. Why did the clutch pedal get much harder to press all of a sudden? some additional observations:
-The clutch seems to be slipping on hard acceleration.
-The catch point seems to have moved near the top of the clutch throw.
2. Are one of my clutch discs worn or is this a problem with one of the cylinders?
3. Can this be corrected with an adjustment? More to the point, is this DIYable?
If some one with experience provide insight into what might be going on I'd appreciate it.
Oh and in case you're all wondering, this clutch has somewhere between 30 and 40k miles on it.
