[Fot] Slave cylinder/master cylinder

[Scott Janzen]

GT6 clutch hydraulics are pretty much self adjusting. The diaphragm pushes the linkage and push rod back into the slave cylinder. Adjusting the length of the push rod, other than a basic setting, will not alter clutch performance. The fluid flows from the master cylinder, and allows the slave cylinder piston to rest wherever the clutch diaphragm returns it to.  
Does pumping the pedal a few times help? If it does, probably the hydraulics/air/bad seals.
 I would certainly try the easy things first. Bleed the clutch hydraulics. If that doesn’t work, try rebuilding the master and slave cylinders. If neither of those do the trick, my guess is the clutch disc is possibly coming apart and hanging up as it gets hot, causing the clutch to grab.
