Default 6 speed troubles, Techs please come in

Ok tonight I was called out by one of my buddies who has a 01 ws6 and finally I decided it was the night to do some damage. Anyways everything is fine, I launch run it up through the gears end the run with about 4-5 cars on him. Go to push the clutch down to up shift into 6th to just cruise away. Well the pedal is barely off the floor, by now I have already stomped her back down and was like "holy **** what the hell" take my foot off and it just sits there on the floor and slowly I feel it rising. So I pull into a gas station up the road with the car out of gear just coasting in nuetral. Go to put it back into gear to drive into the station and the clutch feels like a wet noodle or something, just nothing there. But the wierd thing is while racing him I hit all the gears hard as **** spinning/chirping tires but the clutch pedal is not coming up. What gives? I have warranty left and will take it to the dealership tomorrow but I want to know what LS1tech's opinion is first.

Common fade from the clutch getting hot and making the fluid boil. Should return to normal when it cools down.

Yeah I say get them to warrenty it for now, until you can get a good clutch, master and slave. Then no more mush. I will hear you complain about how hard it is to press. haha
