2. Boiled clutch fluid
- Make sure this was not a CSC failure
- Clutch and Brake fluid should be NOTHING else than Motul RBF600.

3. Fuel cut
- If this is a ginormous issue for you, there is a kit available for about, what... $2k? that'll fix this for you.

Way ahead of you, but thanks for the advice

I've been sitting on the following for a few weeks waiting to get into a shop for installation -- every place has been booked, but I finally was able to make an appointment for early September:

Z1 Motorsports 34-row Setrab Oil Cooler /w Thermostatic Plate
ZSpeed Insulated Clutch Hose
ZSpeed HD CSC & OEM CMC
Southbend Stage 3 Clutch & Lightweight Flywheel

For fluids, I'm already using Motul RBF600, but I am seriously considering going up to Castrol SRF. FWIW, the CSC is fine, I'm just replacing it as a precaution, especially since the clutch is getting changed out anyway.

As for fuel cut, I'm not doing anything about that this round. If I can drive down a straight without having to pump the clutch, I'll be happy enough already.

I'm considering a solution like phunk's RRP, probably in early spring. Until then, I'll just try to keep it topped off.
