jerky clutch... any ideas or help???

I have a 92 jeep Cherokee. The clutch seems to grab sometimes when I go to start. Other times it feels a little spongy. I put a new clutch kit in last year. The clutch doesn't seem to be slipping at all. Very sporadic. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions. I want to nip it in the butt before I get stranded. Thanks for any help.

check your brake fluid level to see if you lost any, if not try bleeding the line again might be just air.

Checked fluid and when I took the cap off I found the rubber nipple thing was pushed up inside of the cap.... pushed it back down and seems to be working fine now. Thanks for the replies.
