^^ Same sh*t happened to me last summer. Bad a$$ experience. I was on the highway probably about nearly 2hrs away from home when it started to happen. I kept trying to drive the car even with the clutch pedal totally depressed to the ground making it extremely difficult to shift without grinding. Thank God I made it home safe & sound. The car actually went on limp mode not allowing me to rev above 4k I believe. I realized that if I let the car cool down, the clutch pedal would slightly improve, but when you start driving maybe after about 30 mins, it'll eventually start depressing again. Checked the clutch fluid & it was gone. I added more fluid & just took the car to my job & back which is 15mins away the following few days. I re-checked the fluid after 3 days and it was black (darker than usual). I have Long Tube Headers & I'm thinking the pipes sit next to the CSC exposing heat causing the fluid to evaporate. I went to my dealer & explained the situation. The tech (my tech when in the dealer) that usually works with my car bled it with new fluid. Afterwards, I ran the car and no grinding noted. He told me if any problems re-occur he will change the CSC. Ever since that day I've been frequently checking my clutch fluid & it's always on point. No color change noted with levels within range. It's almost a year since that happened & no further issues noticed. I plan on having my headers wrapped though because I never knew how much of an impact heat can have under the hood.
