Yes, it does.  But how quickly I can't determine under the car, since the symptom is only noticeable under spirited driving.

Yes, this is the way it went during installation.

Yes, they're all stock.  Type A with overdrive.  Engaging OD does not slip, though I always use the clutch and so then it does.  The slave and MC are all new from TRF (well, new three years ago).  

I'll give the Pedal assembly a look. Then again, I've had enough new parts on this that didn't last long, it could be the MC or slave.
