Clutch pedal return kit- I will try it
I am going to try one of these out.

Will let you know how it works & do not post about the fluid, it's not MY fluid, mine is high temp & changed every event.
Lingenfelter tech support says it's high centrifical force (high rpm shift) that puts the clutch parts (sorry not a clutch expert) into a place where they "stick" and have trouble releasing.
This makes total sense to me as I can drive the car easy for thousands of miles with zero issue, but ONE 6k shift & it hangs.
Clean high temp fluid should still be used but if that fails this may be the answer.
BTW I thought this kit up but you know how that goes, actually producing it & patent it & yada yada.
Ordering one now.

Here ya go. Let me know how you like the (amateur) video.

PS I actually like how the pedal works better know. IMO the stock pedal is a little too light (compare to overboosted power steering or brakes). Now it's more controllable at the engagement moment, if you get my meaning.

and
Yes stiffer but not THAT bad, but I would not want to drive it in stop/go freeway traffic for very long.
For drag & auto cross no problem, for 20 min track should be ok unless you have leg/ankle/knee issues but if you do you probably have an automatic anyway.
