Jim,

Sorry buddy but I just got to LOL! I have gone through the exact issue and have changed my throw out bearing 3 times. And clutch set up once! Give me a call some time. I am "pretty sure" we solved the problem. We have spent A LOT of time on this issue. More then anything else. I "think I solved it" by putting in a new Wilwood 1in master cyl., switching to Mike Forte's slave cyl and adjusting the clutch pedal to make sure I'm getting a full throw on the Master cyl. I have the stock alum. bell housing btw. The one that Mike Forte's sells for the 351W. The fork is from Forte also.

Mine ALSO got worse as the engine heated up. I switched to Wilwood Hi Temp fluid. (Summit Racing). Car worked fine the last half of the year with all these changes. I'll let you drive my car and see if the issues are the same. You are right down the street!

Later,
SID
