I can tell you that we just had 3 370Zs on track at Road America running 20-25min sessions and none of us had any clutch problems. Many of the turns require shifting down from 5th to 2nd and then winding it back out to 5th again in the subsequent straights. If we're not having clutch problems there, I can't imagine it's a fluid or mechanical issue (ie it's likely driver related).
Okay well how can I be shifting wrong? I have SRM on the whole time, so I doubt downshifting is the problem and I upshift perfectly with no jerking. What is the technique you guys are using that could be overheating my clutch?

I'm pretty sure it's a temperature problem that is causing it for a couple reasons. It progressively gets worse out on the track, and it goes back to normal after I let it sit for 30 mins or so. Is it was possible that there was air in my system or that the fluid is subpar?
