Interesting Observation ( Clutch Fluid Level )
Yea I know.... it was my own fault.... I'm a dumb azz.... 
Last Saturday evening, I bled my clutch reservoir with my remote bleeder as I normally do every couple months. I went out to our Sun GTG, and I noticed that the clutch was a lot stiffer than before. I was not sure what was going on. I got home that evening and looked over everything and did not find anything wrong at first.
This Sat evening dusting off the car, I opened my clutch fluid reservoir and noticed that my fluid level was about 1/8" above the little full "LIP" that is inside the reservoir. I drained it back to the correct full level "lip". I went out for a drive yesterday (Sun) and everything feels normal again.
I guess that little full "lip" is there for a good reason...
I normally pay very close attention when I'm filling my reservoir. I guess I missed that this time....
