Weird problem when i got the car, the clutch pedal would never want to disengage. I would have to pump the clutch pedal 15 times to get it back till it got air in the system later on again. Low or High Rpms didnt matter. I changed the master cylinder first. Still the same problem. Then i changed the steel braided line. Still not fixed. Finally i replaced the slave and its worked perfectly. I can shift fine WOT only up to 5400..Anything past it wont go in...Can a burned clutch cause this? I mean everything else is pretty much replaced and i know im not boiling fluid.

Did you do the drill mod? That's a free troubleshooting step. I would also make sure it's 100% bled properly. Another free troubleshooting step. If the slave and master are new and neither of those two steps works, I'm guessing the clutch just can't hold the power you're putting down at high RPMs and you need to get rid of that stock clutch (if it IS a stock clutch, I'd put money down that that's your problem right there - they aren't design to hold even bolt-on power very well, nevermind even a mild cam).
