well just to clarify I wasn't suggesting his tranny was transfering heat into the lines, just that it was the rubber line possibly expanding. This happens on the rear brake flex line on old cars (the one that almost no one replaces) and the line expands. The pressure from applying the brakes is enough to overcome the restriction but it doesn't allow the fluid to release and thus sticking brakes. Same thing COULD happen to a DSM if there's a rubber line in the system, but it sounds like the pedal mis-adjusted is a more likely occurance (never heard of it but i'm new to these cars).
