clutch problems

I just resently installed a t5 in my 1985 Camaro, and now every time that I drive it my clutch over heats, especially if I'm driving slowly through town. I think that the clutch fluid is boiling out of the resevior. Has anybody else had this problem, my clutch line is about 1.5 from my header.

Re: clutch problems

Ive never seen that personally. I'm sure it can happen though. Either wrap the header or the clutch line with some heat reflective product and see what happens.

Re: clutch problems

Happened to me 2 years ago. Did you put the factory shield back on over the slave cylinder? I had forgot mine cause the motor was out for a year. I put mine back on and wrapped the slave with stick on heat shielding. I also did the bellhousing because my custom y-pipe was a little to close for comfort, but you prob wont have that issue
