    How does your clutch deal with the summer heat?

    The last few days New England had a heat wave of 95 and humidity for last few days. My stock clutch has 127k on it and it feels shitty driving in the heat. It does not slip but engagement is crappy and feels like jello in traffic. Its much more difficult to drive than lets say winter or nice nigh temperatures of 70.

    If I launched the car it would definitely hate me. Thats what happened at Last Waterfest. High 80s temperature and I did 2 runs and after that it felt mushy and it was total crap to drive.

    I want to hear how Stage 3-4 clutches deal with that. I don't mind heavier clutches. I used to drive a GT stang with a cable King Cobra clutch in FL which felt like a brick.

    sounds like your hydrolic system needs to be flushed or bled.
