Clutch pedal sticking after header install!
Okay so here is what I now know, headers bring the heat closer to the master cylinder line and make it too hot, aka destroying the fluid. My fluid resevoir for the clutch is low, kinda dirty/black, and my clutch pedal is sticking some in traffic. Do i just need to bleed the system and replace the fluid? Also, will topping off the resevoir help for now? I want to wrap the master cylinder line in cool wrap, but if it needs to be replaced I'd rather just wait until its out of the car to wrap it. It seems to be getting progressively worse very quickly.

You should bleed it first then topping it off and keeping it from going too low will get you by for now. Make it a habit of checking the level everytime you park it for the day or do a lot of driving/clutch work.

Change fluid and bleed it. Then bleed it more. And when you think its done..do it once more. Also might want to invest in a heat sleeve to put over the line to keep heat off of it. Parts stores carry them.

I have never done a complete change of fluid before, whats the best way to drain it all without making a huge mess? The bleeder screw is on top of the tranny right?
