Default clutch sticking problems

My clutch is stickin to the floor at high rpms during shifts and burnouts.. also bled my system but fluid is pitch black again after just a few days..does this sound like my master is shot or somethign else? read the sticky but don't really want to start pouring money into it if its a common issue and fix. When I did bled it I could high rpm shift for a little while but it got black quick again.. in a matter of days maybe even hours.. and now I cant again.

If the fluid is black it needs to be changed completely. Flush and refill the system as a first step. If the issue continues then it is time to look at replacing the hydraulics. Let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks!

Flush the system completely and see if it helps. If not it is time to dig in to replacing the hydraulics

I like the Mighty-Vac method because it has been, in my experience, the most thorough way to remove fluid and air from the system.
