i haven't seen any posts yet on this. Is the clutch fluid staying clean or is it picking up debris?

What I did to try reduce this problem is I picked up some "cool tube" insulation from Auto Zone and installed it so that the hose from the master to the slave cylinder got less direct exposure from the exhaust heat. This is not too expensive at all and was not too difficult to do from underneath the car on a C5.
