I feel its a mixture of contamination of the clutch fluid and the fluid boiling in the slave cylinder that causes the starvation which results in the pedal not returning.

I changed out everything on my 4th gen (same style hydraulics) and never got rid of the problem. I wrapped the line in heat shielding, changed the master cyl, changed the slave cyl, changed the line, added better fluid. Nothing worked. I even changed the clutch.

Anyways its been an issue thats hit or miss forever now. I pretty sure the lt1s didnt have this problem, and their slave isnt the throw out bearing style that the ls1+ trannies have.

Thanks for the info. Just amazed at the change just 4 days after driving my car.
