Boy is this a familiar problem... One of the TolDSM guys (now down in Rossford) had the same issue. We never found the exact problem, but eventually the trans broke while he was shifting it while hot (when it wouldn't disengage properly). Dropped in a new trans. Unfortunately, I can't say if that fixed it though, broke an axle on the first test drive and it's been sitting for around 3 years now without being put back together. However, in the short test drive, the main problem did not happen, but not sure if it got warm enough though...

Way back originally, one thing we noticed was that if it got hot enough, the hydraulic fluid for the clutch system would start boiling. Does yours do that? Once the fluid started boiling, the clutch pedal would start sticking to the floor. Has that happened to you?

Our prime suspects were either the clutch itself, or one (or both) of the hydraulic cylinders...
