Clutch?
OK, I've only got maybe 12,000 miles on an OZ700 clutch and its starting to give me issues. The engagement point seems to be 3/4s of the way up and when it gets hot it refuses to shift into 2nd or 3rd gear.
Its only slipped on me once, and it was after severe hot lapping at Island dragway in 90 degree weather and awfully bad / dirty fluid. I've since done the ranger method quite a bit but the issues persist (no more slipping but hard to shift into 2nd and third when hot).
What do you guys think, master cylinder issues or new clutch time?
I'd be willing to invest in the tick if it cured the issues, but I'd hate to do the tick and then find out it still didnt shift right and have to the the clutch as well.

I know Textralia has an upgrade program from the twin to the triple. I am wondering if they might have an upgrade from the OZ to the twin. If so, I would recommend you try taking advantage of that as well as the Tick master.

The best 3 grand in Parts and Labor, I ever spent, Initially the amount of funds hurt, but the giggle factor when you do 3rd gear burnouts @ 50mph 
eases the pain. RPS Twin Carbon Disk is the way too go!
