Did you upgrade to 01+ hydrolics? Ive heard running anything stronger then a stock clutch will cause premature wear on your hydrolics, if your pedal is sticking to the floor then it sounds like a hydrolics issuse not the clutch. Check to make sure you have fluid and if thats fine probally your slave or master goin on

Man, I've been through this a few times over the past few months. Check the hydrolic line that runs from the slave to the master and see how close it is to your headers. It'll basically boil the fluid in the line and starve the slave cylinder.
It could be that your slave is going out, or there could just be air in the line. Have you tried to bleeding the line?
I had to replace the slave and the master, and wrap the hydrolic line in thermal tape..and im running DOT 4 brake fluid. Havent had any problems lately.
I would try bleeding the line first, check out the drill mod and if that doesnt work, look at replacing the hydrolics.

but that's the wierd thing, you can tell when the clutch is "slipping" and it's not doing that it's biting down, just sticking to the floor ONLY on hard shifting when i'm really getting on it.

On my car it's not a heat issue I dont believe. And the clutch does not slip at all. My clutch feels so weak. Takes little effort to push the clutch to the floor.
I'm going to mighty vac all the old fluid out and try fresh fluid to see if that solves it. If not im going to buy a new master...

If you havent done the drill mod DO IT. It doesnt cost anything to do other than some time and a drill bit or 2. I had a Z06 clutch and at the track it would need some good cool off time between runs cuz the pedal would start feeling weak. After the drill mod all was good. IMO if your wanting your 6 speed for performance and modding it at all you need to do the drill mod. Its a restriction if your trying to get everything out of your car why would you want a restriction that will affect the performance.
