Default Hydraulic issues, I think???

Alright guys here's the deal. About 5-10k miles ago I put a new zoom Kevlar clutch, ram adjustable master cylinder and oem slave/tb in my camaro. Bled properly and torqued the clutch down. A while back it started acting up, everytime I'd do a pull the first shift would be fine, then the next the pedal would either stick to the floor or I would get locked out of gear. After a few rapid pumps the pedal would come back and all was fine. Well last weekend it happened in a race and consequently grenaded 3rd and 4th. Fast forward to this past Saturday and I threw a new trans in it and took all the hydraulics out and bench bled them well. Stuck it all back in and bled again and had a good firm pedal. Went out and made some flat foot shifts and it was good. Then on the 3rd pull once I shut it down and came to a stop it refused to go into gear, had to pump the pedal like 10 times to get it to go. I'm at a loss because everything seems to check out okay. My only thought is the fluid is getting extremely hot and that's why I'm losing pressure, any thoughts? That seems a bit extreme

Sorry for the long post.

if the hydraulics are still the same...I suspect the issue is still there. MC or slave.
