Here's another thought. If the clutch master pushrod is adjusted a
bit to long (no freeplay), then it may inhibit return of fluid to the
reservoir. When the engine warms up and the fluid exands a bit, this
can cause residual pressure in the clutch line, which can make the
clutch slip when it is warmed up, (where it may not slim when
cool). Solution then is to shorten teh master pushrid a bit to
assure that it has minimal freeplay. The pushrod should wiggle a
little when at rest, and the pedal should have about 1/4-inch
pretravel where you can press it with one finger before you feel the
force of the master piston motion. This could be as simple as proper
adjustment of the master pushrod.
