No prolly not. An adjustable master to help take up freeplay in the pedal might be the ticket though. Have you done the drill mod?

Is the master's line insulated from the headers?
A periodic bleeding/flush is also very helpfull I have found time & time again.
Hows the trans? seem like certain gears are the problem? Every changed the fluid in it as well?
