Do you think that the car needs a separate Clutch Fluid reservoir

If your lucky, the bleed line on the slave unit worked it's way out. This happened to a 745+ rwhp car last summer at the track. I think they were able to fix it without tranny pull using extentions and crows foot to torque it.

Problem I have found is when your "A dimension" is + from stock it moves the slave seal out enough to eventually blow the seal from the slave housing.

You can get the info here http://mcleodracing.com/info/?id=5260
Get the info from the clutch manufacturer of use a press to find out how far the pressure plate needs to be compressed for full release. You can do the math and make sure your slave isn't being overextended based on your A dimension and pp compression.

OMG; Just saw this bro'. That sucks, man.

You're right, never ends with this vehicle does it? Are you going to upgrade the whole master / slave system? Any ideas what brand / make / model you're going with?

Although it seems this thread is asleep, if not dead, I continue to get on a daily basis requests for the remote clutch reservoir install kit I put together awhile ago. I no longer have any of the parts I supplied in the kit. In order to make up another "batch" of kits I need at least 25 folks to want a kit as some of the parts need to be purchased in bulk.

Just did this to mine today. Did mine similar to another person who posted earlier in this thread. It's amazing how dark my fluid was.
