Major Track Faults of the 370

I was expecting to see brake pads and oil cooler as the two top things.

Like others have said, replacing the fluid with some good DOT 4 like Motul and bleeding the lines should do the trick. If not, they you probably have a bad CSC.

It's easy to prepare for a downshift, rest your foot on the clutch (partially, even just slightly depressing it), brake for the corner, and then finally shift. If the clutch is partially engaged during this time, you could overheat it.

No, I made absolutely sure that I was not riding the clutch this last time. I do know better than that. My real question is what could be causing the engagement point to move closer to the engine and eventually stick to the floor?

Brake pads and oil cooler have already been taken care of

I will try doing this first, if I have a bad CSC how do I tell the dealer to fix it without having to explain its weak point is at the track?
